-Lily-
I lay awake while Garrett slept peacefully beside me, his words echoing in my mind.
Don’t ever leave me.
How was I going to tell him the truth, especially so soon after he had lost his mother? I felt awful watching him sleep so serenely. In sleep, he looked more serious. Normally, his amazing grin and dimples were his signature, but now that look was absent, making him appear almost a bit older. Despite that, he was still incredibly handsome. If I could, I would lie here with him forever, but I had only been given three months.
I sighed deeply and tried once again to close my eyes, but sleep eluded me. I opened my eyes and glanced at the orange cat sleeping peacefully between us. She was as close to Garrett as she could be and as far from me as possible.
Traitor.
Yet, a smile
