“But we aren’t lovers.” She needed a moment to calm herself before she could protest his claim.
“I’ll be waiting for your answer. I hope you won’t make me wait too long,” Rupert said quietly. When he took her small hand in his, it seemed like a delicate bird disappearing into a welcoming grove.
Annabel’s heart was beating so fast that she worried it might leap out of her throat.
She closed her eyes to stop her world from reeling, and after a few moments, opened them again. She held his gaze as she asked, “If Candy comes back one day, who will you choose p>

Perhaps, if they gave each other more time, she would understand him better.
That way, she might find out whether or not he was still yearning for Candy.
“Very well then.” Rupert grinned helplessly.

Street lamps shone on them, casting long shadows of the two.
What kind of relationship did they share? Annabel asked herself, tilting her head subconsciously.
