Cleo's Heart Decisions.

Conflicts And Gardenias.

He is able of making her forget about the conflicts because a gardenia says: "I am secretely yet purely in love with you!"

~about five days later, morning, Diamond Heart Pack~

Cleo’s pov

“And in this way we have the most useless Delta there is!” I state with an ironic sign and they all burst into laughing.

Elliot is groaning from pain on the ground and he is trying to catch his breath. His lower lip is bleeding, his right eye is going to be bruised, his stomach is going to hurt him for the rest of the day but who cares?

Useless creatures like him are the least that should matter us and also idiots can survive everything! He has no problem, he can take more and this is why he is going to bleed because I am not done with him for today…

As you understand we had been getting trained and now we are officially over but Elliot hasn’t and I am going to stay here and supervise him as he has to do the same things for second time and the sooner we start the sooner I will be free to leave!

“Thank you very much everyone, you are all free to go! Today you did better than the previous days, I am pleased but you can do more so keep pushing! I will see you again tomorrow!” I announce using my beta tone from above Elliot’s body and they all nod and bow.

“Beta!” they say in union and with a soft nod and smile from me they all leave and I look down at Elliot that is still lying on the ground while rubbing his forehead.

Now that I am looking at him… He is perfectly fine, he can do the same things not only one more time but twice!

“Get up and start from the beginning everything we did today, two times, not one like the other days!” I say and walk to the trees about four meters behind me to sit.

It’s a quite sunny day, the sun is already up and it’s hot so I need shade, I won’t die because Elliot is a slow chicken and now that I mention it…

He hasn’t stood up yet!

“I said get up! I have lots of things to do and you have to write for me full report of all the guards’ condition!” I order running out of patience without even turning to him.

It is pointless, I know him, he is just tall with muscles because he is a werewolf and nothing else!

Physical condition: Zero!

Mental abilities: -100

Feelings: -200

This is a torture for me, really, I am lowering myself like this and it’s just hilarious!

I sit down the first tree I see and cross my hands in front of my chest resting my back on the trunk and Elliot stands up slowly and starts running. At least this time he is not complaining because he knows I can double everything and then he is going to die at this field till the end of the day!

And now I have time to tell you everything you have missed these five very entertaining days and I am not kidding, I had fun and no problem at all! Yes, I know it sounds weird and it is but maybe the Goddess felt sorry for me and gave me some peace and fun!

So, let’s start with Ava and I am very happy to say that I was right and Thor agreed to ‘give’ her to me and Adel so now she is tidying up our rooms and also she helps Adel with my grandma’s house’s cleaning! She is much better, she is eating and sleeping appropriately, she is not so nervous and scared, her bruises and scratches are gone and to be honest she looks much happier! She seems to have a good time with Adel, me and even Gabriel and Will that are close to her as well because she belongs to our ‘team’ now!

She is a very sweet and kind girl, I love her, really and she is so caring and shy that makes my heart melt! This is why she is under my protection from now on and there is no way I am allowing anyone hurt her! She is thanking me all the time, she feels grateful and the fact that Elliot can’t stay alone with her has helped her a lot to calm down. She is getting stronger and she asked from me to train her as well in her free time and I agreed, Will is also going to help her and I am excited.

As for my house, I mean the one my grandma left me, it is almost ready and I am looking forward to go and see it finished. Adel and Ava have taken full care of everything and I trust them blindly, I have done nothing because I don’t have time anyway, I have a mess to deal with (yes, Thor is chaotic) and they haven’t let me go to see it yet because they want me to go when it’s ready and I respect it!

And next I want to tell you about work! I told you that Thor is chaotic and I have to explain myself. He is not so helpful and I mean that he lives in his own world. For example, he tells me to have ready a full list with the equipment we have and when I am almost done he changes his mind and he wants from me something else and this is very frustrating because I am ‘running’ all the time but I have to admit I like it somehow. I have things to do, he never protests or doubts me and we have no problem if you put aside this small detail and the pack is just like it had to be, they are all following my orders for everything, the guarding, the training, the trackers, etc…

And do you believe that the asshole really approves my job? He is bearably looking at my reports, he is sure they are fine and I don’t know how to take it, is it good or not?

Also, I can’t keep myself from commending Finn’s surprising behavior! I have no clue as to what has gotten into him but he is so obedient, he never protests or denies something, he is doing a great job and this is a huge accomplishment because I am very difficult to be pleased. He is attending training, he is really working, his improvement is remarkable and I am freaking out! I had never thought of it, he is like another Finn!

Anyway, all the others are perfectly fine, I mean my parents, Adel with Gabriel, Will, Richard and Cassidy and even Thor… My other friends are alright as well, I am talking to Bree, Kevin and the others every day and they are calmer now that Thor has calmed down and I have no problem with him.

But…

I have a problem with someone else or to say it better I have a problem because I haven’t seen him again from the day I came back and I mean the white wolf! I miss him like crazy, I am thinking of him every day and the nights I am falling asleep while recalling the way I hugged him, he licked me and how I felt when he touched the crock of my neck!

I really need to see him again and I desperately want to find out what is happening with him! I wish I could see him in his human form but the more I am thinking of everything the more I believe that this won’t happen! He didn’t seem willing for this and I am hurt.

Why is he doing this? Why has he been saving me but he doesn’t want me to know more?

There is a bond here, I feel it, there is no other explanation but I don’t know him, I can’t think of what is happening and this is so…

Painful!

And now that I said painful let me tell you about Thor, not that it is painful like I had thought to be honest but something feels wrong. He is not bothering me, he is… A gentleman and very typical but I have a very bad feeling, I don’t know what is happening in his mind but it can’t be good.

I mean, it is always calm and sunny before the big storm, right?

I can’t trust this man, I am worried and I am trying to hide it. He is not touching me, he is acting casually, he is calm, serious and we have the typical relationships but I feel like he is getting ready for something. I don’t know what he is up to but he is certainly planning something and I don’t know how to prepare myself for the storm…

Or am I overreacting and…

“Don’t you think this joke has to stop?” I listen to Elliot saying and I snap my head to him the second he starts walking to me in frustration.

Well, well, well…

The chicken decided to open his mouth, he can’t take it anymore, good!

I was hoping this to happen because I need to explain some things to him.

“What is your problem Delta?” I ask standing up slowly and Clea smirks wickedly.

Oh yeah, she knows what is going to happen next and she is impatient, not to mention that Elliot’s expression is driving me crazy…

“My problem or yours? Why are you doing this to me?” he asks furiously and stops about one meter away from me while I cross my arms and raise my eyebrows.

“Because you need more training… I am responsible for your fighting condition and I do whatever I think it’s necessary!” I reply coldly and he growls narrowing his eyes.

“This is why you took Ava and…” he starts the next second and…

BOOM! Cleo’s explosion!

I take one step forward, grab him from his neck and drag him in the woods with no resistance from him. He is too surprised to react and once I am sure we can’t be visible I pin him on a tree and stand in front of him shaking outraged.

That was what I was waiting to tell him everything!

“Listen to me carefully because I won’t repeat myself and believe me I am serious!” I start and he opens his mouth to talk but I slap him and he stops.

“When I talk you listen without protests!” I order and he turns to me shocked.

“I know everything and you are ‘lucky’ I haven’t killed you yet or I haven’t told Thor about it! Your little game is over and you are going to stay away from Ava! She is under my protection and you don’t want me to lose the less patience I have left with you! Bastards like you deserve no one and Ava is too good to be with you or suffer because of your sickness! Do whatever the hell you want, I don’t care but you are staying away from her for now and forever! And I don’t have to tell you that disobeying me is the stupidest thing you can do! I am your Beta and what I say goes so turn the f**k back and continue!” I say through my teeth and take one step on my right to give him space to pass but instead of doing what I told him he stays like a statue staring at me panicked.

Was I too rough? I did nothing serious, I didn’t even touch him!

“I… You know!? She told you?!” he whispers breathless and I growl running out of patience.

He is really an i***t, I just told him and look at him!

Damn it, he is going to burn my brain cells!

“Cleo… I… Miss her and…” he starts pretending to be hurt and I blink my eyes unaffected.

Are you f*****g kidding me? What a hypocrite!?

He misses her now but when he could have her he was treating her like s**t and he is expecting from me to believe him?

What am I? A five years old girl?!

“Just shut up because I don’t believe a single word from you and so does Ava! You are a terrible liar and I hate coward liars more than anything else! If you want your life then do as I told you and don’t try me because no one is going to stop me from killing you!” I interrupt him and he lowers his head trembling.

I am a bit disappointed he is obedient now and I won’t kick his ass again and I will have to wait until tomorrow (the next training) but anyway… At least I will get over with him sooner…

“GO BEFORE I REPEAT MYSELF!” I state coldly and with this he nods, bows and walks back to the training field.

“Do you think he misses her?” Clea asks me shortly not really believing him.

“Maybe he does instinctually because she is his ‘mate’ but I am so sure he means it the way we would want him to…” I say quickly and she groans in understanding.

I hope I am wrong but…

I don’t think I will be done with him so easily, I don’t trust him at all!

~about one hour later~

I get in the pack house in hurry and run upstairs without losing time.

William came to tell me that I had some phone calls from another Beta about cooperation between our packs and I am talking with him because Thor and the other Alpha have agreed for the basic terms. Now I and he are preparing the contracts and give further explanations to some things.

Elliot is still getting trained, I left William to supervise him to be sure he won’t leave and now I am heading straight to my office at the top floor.

I pass the first floor, the second and I am about to set my foot on the third when I see with the corner of my eye someone ready to fall on me from my right and I raise my hands to stop him but freeze because it’s…

Lillian!

Damn, she is back and I had totally forgotten about her arrival. She must have arrived while I was training the pack and I am not happy at all to see her, not that she looks happy but anyway…

She is wearing a black very short, narrow skirt with a red top that could be described better as a bra, her hair is more intense red than the last time I saw her, her makeup heavy as always and her shoes higher than the usual, she is not even walking and do you know what?

I want to leave before I throw up!

“Good morning, I am sorry, I didn’t notice you!” I say in hurry with an unexpressive look and turn to leave.

“This is the last time you are rude to me!” she states in her high, annoying scream and I stop, blink my eyes and Clea loses her temper.

Did she just call me rude? Like I am rude?!

What the f**k?

I take a deep breath feeling my anger growing bigger every single second and turn to her with a forced calm expression. She is angry, her jaw is clenching and she is holding her breath with her eyes locked on mine. If she is trying to scare me like this then she is failing, I am not afraid of her, she can do nothing to me and both of us know it.

“I think I don’t understand… Mind to explain?” I ask pretending to be confused and she growls taking one step to me.

“Don’t play the dump… I am the Luna here and you are always going to be under me so bow and call me with my title every single time you happen to be in the same room with me!” she states and I sigh ready to attack her with my blood boiling and Clea asking from me to kill her.

Why do I have a feeling she knows about Thor and me and she is trying to put me in ‘my place’?

And this attitude of hers is not acceptable, not when I don’t bow to anyone under so casual circumstances. I won’t bow to her because she wants to make sure she has power over me, she has nothing!

If she wants to pretend like I am under her then she has to try harder than this but she won’t accomplish a thing!

And she asked for it, I am not stepping back, I have no patience because she is shameless and I won’t stay silent to give her the pleasure to believe she can win me in any f*****g way.

She asked for a fight so…

I bring her a war!

“Listen to me and try to get everything I am about to say in your mind… Don’t mess with me and ignore me just like I ignore you! I am not your toy, you can’t play with me and we know the truth so don’t challenge me! I said I was sorry although I shouldn’t, stop demanding s**t from me because you don’t want me mad!” I whisper through my teeth quite ‘calmly’ and she opens her eyes widely.

She turns red the next second, she growls louder and raises her hand with me getting ready to grab it if she tries to slap me.

“YOU b***h, I…” she starts and she is about to slap me when a hand from behind me grabs her wrist and both of us freeze.

SHIT!

I turn around breathless, unable to take the scent and understand who it is and when I do and I see him I… Lose the ground under my feet from the surprise.

“Finn?”

Finn’s pov

I smile at Cleo and tighten my hold around Lillian’s wrist, I think I am going to break it as I realize that she just tried to slap Cleo and I breathe to keep my wolf under my control or else I am going to kill Lillian right here and now.

Not that she doesn’t deserve it but I don’t want to create a scene now, Cleo seems overwhelmed and I don’t want to make things worse for her. She has no problem to face Lillian on her own but I listened to them, I got out of my office and they were too focused on each other to notice me and once I saw Lillian raising her hand I lost it.

I was expecting something like this from her to be honest, she always loved power and she knows that Cleo is Thor’s mate. This is why she wants to lower her from now in order to feel confident because she is nothing in front of Cleo and if I am right (and I am but anyway) she also feels that Thor can’t stay away from Cleo and she needs to prevent them from getting close. Well, Cleo won’t accept Thor, I am not an i***t but Thor is going to chase her and don’t ask me how I know it, I just do, he was my best friend for my entire life and I am aware of his way of thinking.

He wants Cleo, he doesn’t love her or he is trying to figure out the meaning of this word (love) but he won’t stop bothering Cleo, it is the only certain thing!

I sigh heavily still holding Lillian’s wrist that by the way seems too shocked and I smile to Cleo in sympathy. She has lost it and I understand why, all these days I am doing anything she wants me to and I am not complaining, now I am taking her side and she is confused.

“Cleo, the other Beta is still waiting, go…” I say warmly and she stiffens troubled.

“There is no problem here, don’t worry!” I add watching her hesitating and after some seconds in silence she nods, gives a full of hatred gaze to Lillian and walks upstairs.

Cool, now I am free to express myself!

“You are hurting me Finn i***t! What did you do? The b***h had to…” Lillian starts once Cleo disappears from the stairs and tries to get free from my hold.

I growl too loud making her stop talking and I take one slow step to her with my eyes turning almost black.

“Watch your mouth when you talk about my Luna! Am I clear slut?” I ask harshly and she gasps pulling back.

“You… How and… What did you just tell me Finn? I am your friend and she…”

“NO!” I cut her off furious.

“I know everything I need to know and you are not my friend just like Thor the bastard and I am going to say it only once so open your ears and take very seriously my words!” I continue and she shakes her head confused yet speechless as she is turning pale.

“Stay away from Cleo, don’t you dare play with her again because I am going to make sure you die and your death won’t be quick!” I start but she ‘wakes up’, pushes me back and groans.

“Why, what is going to happen if I do? Are you going to kill me jerk? Who are you to threaten me?” she says in the lowest tone she can afraid of someone listening to us and I smirk ready to rip her throat out.

Damn it! She is driving me crazy!

“You know very well what I am capable of and I am not joking here! I am the Delta and you are a w***e! If you get close to my Luna again I will open my big mouth and you won’t like it because Richard is not going to be very happy and Thor won’t be able to save your plastic ass!” I state in an even angrier tone.

“f**k off you asshole! Are you threatening me? Are you for real, I am…”

“A slut!” I end her phrase and before she moves I grab her from both of her arms and shake her one time with power.

“You are lucky Thor ‘wanted’ you otherwise you would have no one… Well, no because if he wanted you then you wouldn’t have died your hair red to look like Cleo, you wouldn’t have tried so much to change but anyway… The only thing you know to do is f*****g around so cut the crap and this tone! And to end this… I am not threatening you, I am just informing you about the consequences…” I say next and free her getting ready to leave with her standing like a statue.

“And one advice… Snakes don’t talk, they just crawl so close your mouth like the snake you are!” I conclude, turn and leave with a big smirk on my face and my wolf howling ecstatic yet proud.

I really needed to do this, for my Luna!

~some hours later, late at night~

Cleo’s pov

“I am telling you that he is acting way too weirdly! He is so… It’s like he is supporting me!” I say confused and Bree exhales.

I am talking to her on the phone, it’s about one hour now and we are not taking the decision to stop for today.

I told her everything, she told me how she is doing and now our basic theme is Finn! I explained what happened with the w***e today, that I talked to Elliot, how Ava is and generally what is happening this last week and she is too troubled as well.

“Look, I don’t know but he doesn’t seem to be such a jerk, I mean, he is doing everything you are telling him to do, he is not so close to that asshole anymore and he stopped that useless b***h from slapping you… Maybe he has changed his mind, don’t you think?” she asks me after some seconds of thinking and I bite my lower lip nervously.

Like I know what is happening…

“I have lost my mind, really, I don’t know what to believe and what not anymore… And I am too angry to think clearly today.” I murmur frustrated and lay more comfortably on my bed.

It is almost midnight, they are all in their rooms, except from the guards and I am not so sleepy but my mood is weird, I am bored and I am acting like a lazy cat. Thanks God I have Bree to talk because Adel is sleeping, Gabriel is with her, Ava was tired and I didn’t want to wake her up, William was working all the afternoon and he was bearably opening his eyes at dinner and my parents are… ‘In mood’… Don’t ask me how I know, I smelled it and I saw their gazes!

“You are right! I can’t believe how that w***e dared to talk to you like that and raise her hand to slap you, you! If I were you, I would have killed her for sure!” she replies frustrated and I groan annoyed as I remember it again.

“I will do it next time, I won’t hold back! Clea is still mad at me for not giving her a lesson… And I somehow agree with her, who does she think she is?!”

“That shame of an Alpha’s w***e baby… You know how these women behave, I am glad you showed her your teeth, it was about time for her to know that messing with you is not acceptable!” she says in hurry and I laugh.

“Oh and you told me that you had a short ‘talk’ with that useless pig, Elliot! Do you think he took the message?” she asks next with wary and this time I stiffen and rub my neck thinking of it.

I know that he was scared and he doesn’t want to risk Thor finds out about them because he is going to kill him although they are friends and he is shaking in front of me but I am not convinced he is not going to bother Ava again.

If we take Thor as an example, we will understand many things!

Ava is an omega and he feels ashamed, he is angry and this is why he had been abusing her but he is jealous as well and he made her his personal maid to be sure she won’t be close to other males… I am not excusing him, don’t you ever think of it but he feels the bond either he likes it or not and this is why I am worried and not certain about what is going to happen next.

It’s only less than a week and he is in tension, I observe his every move, look, expression and it is obvious that he is not like before. He is looking around for Ava all the time, he knows she is happy now, she is not even looking at him, she is not so scared, she is smiling and this might be painful for him.

She is moving on but he behaves like he is stuck on her in his own way…

I am not an i***t, really! He is a jerk, yes! He can’t feel love but there is something!

Look at Thor, he didn’t want me but he was jealous, he was possessive, he was trying to find an opportunity to get closer to me, he was getting angry, he…

Fuck, I don’t care about Thor, I am not even in pain! I just hope Elliot forgets Ava for good because she is never going to be happy with him!

Men like Thor and Elliot just can’t change, they are too selfish and coldhearted!

“I hope so Bree because…” I start but stop while sitting up angrily from the noise.

Not again!

NO!

“She is screaming again!? Really now? Are they so shameless? Even I can listen to them!” Bree yells and I sigh heavily.

Thor and the w***e decided to make sure their kind won’t stop existing and they are having s*x again and louder than before! It’s the second time for tonight and I am not jealous or hurt, I am just disgusted!

They don’t respect even Richard and Cassidy and if there wasn’t William’s room between mine and Thor’s then I don’t know what else I would have been able to listen to! 

And I am done staying here to listen like an i***t, poor woman!

“Bree, they are doing it on purpose… To get on my nerves and as you can understand they have accomplished it! Anyway, I am going for a run, yes? I will call you tomorrow! Give kisses to Kevin from me and tell him I love him!” I say in hurry walking to my closet room and she chuckles when I mention Kev.

“You love only my brother, right? What about me?” she asks teasingly and I roll my eyes.

“I love you too and you have more kisses, pleased?” I reply and get in after I have turned on the lights.

“Of course! Alright baby, I love you so, so, so much! Run for me as well!” she says cheerfully and I laugh.

“Yeap babe! Goodnight!” I say and with this we end our call and I leave my phone on the makeup toilet.

And now let’s get changed before I lose my temper, go and kill the nature’s biggest mistakes…

I take off my pajamas and then open the closet on my left, there are casual clothes in it and I quickly choose a white, simple dress with short sleeves that reaches my knees.

And yes, I know it sounds weird and crazy but it’s not because I hope I see the white wolf tonight, I want to touch him and I can’t risk anyone notices his white hair on me once I come back.

Devilish, right?

Also, I don’t need too many clothes to put on and take off, it’s a loss of time and I am not cold anyway!

I put on the dress in hurry, tie my hair up in a ponytail and then take my white Nike. I am done after some seconds and ready to go so I get out, close my room’s lights and open my door as carefully as I can.

I don’t want my parents or Thor realize that I am leaving, at least until I am out of the pack house. I close the door behind me, take some deep breaths to get sure that they are all in their rooms and then I walk to the stairs on my toes.

Once I start walking downstairs I sigh relieved and speed up. Fortunately there is no one around, not even the omegas and I am at the living room in no time. I head to the main corridor, reach the door, get out and then run to the woods while greeting cheerfully one of the guards that bows to me.

“Cleo? Where are you going?” I listen to Finn asking me from the parking lot and I stop nervously, my smile freezes and I sigh heavily.

Why?

I turn around with Clea moving impatiently in my mind as the thought of meeting the wolf again has gotten her crazy and he walks to me worried passing by the guard.

And now he is worried? Really?

I think he has lost his mind, there is no other explanation for this behavior.

“What are you doing up so late?” I ask him avoiding his question and he narrows his eyes confused.

“Um… I am responsible for the guards tonight, it is my turn and I am checking if we have any problem! I am not sleeping tonight!” he replies and I nod cursing myself for forgetting about it.

Of course, I told him that I want someone in head of the guards every day and night, in the program it was his name for tonight but in my frustration I forgot…

And he is really working, again! He is not trying to avoid it, he shows responsibility.

Well, kill me Finn!

“I see, sorry! Well done, any problem?” I ask in hurry.

“No problem at all but where are you going? Are you alright?” he asks quite timidly and I bite my lower lip taking one step back.

“I can’t sleep, I am going for a run!”

“Maybe you should take someone with you… There are guards all over our territory but it’s better not to risk it!” he replies and I sign negatively immediately.

If I want to see the wolf then I have to be alone, I don’t care about dangers and bullshit!

“I appreciate it Finn but I am going alone, I will be back soon anyway. Thank you!” I say as I take one more step backwards ready to leave.

“Alright, if you need anything mind link me, I will have my link open all night!” he says and I nod.

I turn quickly and walk as fast as I can to the woods. I am impressed from him, he is surprising me with his behavior and I don’t know what to think but at least he is not trying to make my life more difficult than it already is…

I pass by the first woods, go behind the one tree I am usually shifting and take off my shoes and dress. I leave the shoes at the roots because I won’t need them at the lake and Clea gets read because I am going to shift from second to second. I take a deep breath, smile thinking of the white wolf and the next moment my bones are cracking, my skin is getting covered with black, shining fur and soon my paw are touching the ground.

“Ready?” I ask Clea and take my dress in our mouth.

“More than ready!”

~some time later, lake~

I leave the dress fall quickly until my knees and look around me in the dark forest.

Some frogs are coaxing, some birds are making some noise as they are flying from tree to tree and I smile relieved.

It’s amazing although the sky is full of clouds but there is no wind or breeze, it a warm night and it doesn’t smell like rain yet. I can smell only the forest, the lake and…

Huh?

This is strange…

The other scent I take it’s from… Gardenias?!

There are no gardenias here and it’s the first time this is happening!

I take some more deep breaths and follow their scent that is getting stronger as I get closer to the lake. I am almost at the edge of the rock I was when I saw the wolf about nine days ago when I spot two white gardenias exactly at the place I was sitting back then and Clea stiffens curious.

I walk quickly to them and kneel quite enthusiastic. They are tied together with a white, satin ribbon and there is also a small white card in a heart’s shape so…

Someone left it here and…

My heart skips a beat, I smile amused and I stay staring at them breathless. I feel butterflies in my stomach without knowing the reason or if they are for me and Clea is almost crying like a puppy from impatience.

I fight to take a proper breath and I slowly take them in my shaking hands. Their sweet, fresh scent fills my lungs and my skin shudders from flood of emotions. I bring them close to my face, smell them again, the butterflies in my stomach fight to set free and a tear falls from my eyes unconsciously.

I smile emotionally and open the small card with my heart now ready to explode in my chest and although it is quite dark I manage to read the short note with great, clear letters…

‘I missed you Cleo!’

I immediately place my left hand on my lips to hold back a sob of relief as I understand it has to be from my wolf and more tears fall from my eyes on my hot cheeks that have to be blushed by now.

I am so…

Enthusiastic and touched!

It’s from him, I know it!

“Cleo… Look…” Clea whispers softly and I snap my head on my right at the direction he is always appearing from and…

I see him there! He is standing proud and strong like always, his fur is shining, he looks more beautiful than ever but his eyes are not like the other times! They are not so serious anymore, they are full of adoration and affection.

I stand up slowly with my breath cut, my eyes locked on his and the flowers with the card still in my hands and smile at him. I lose myself in him and I don’t need to think anymore, the words come out of my lips naturally.

“I missed you too!”
