There’s a lot to do before tonight I wish I could just go hoht of the rest of our lives together I want her to reht, like one where I treated her like a woether to indulge in one another

Tonight has to be so special, and that’s exactly what I have planned

Chapter Ten

Amelia

I wake up alone and my heart immediately sinks in my chest

Where is Leo?

He should be here besideone

It doesn’t make sense to me We live in the same house This is his bedroom He can’t just run away fro up confused and alone I wish I had some way to contact him, but I don’t have his number I look out of theand see that his car isn’t in the driveway He must have had somewhere more important to be

I sigh, wrappingunfair I don’t knohat reason he had not to be here, but I’ood one I’m just so insecure I’ve never had a man want h to stick around I’ve been alone in this world for as long as I can reain

I know deep down that Leo isn’t that kind of ht with so much respect So much respect, in fact, that he refused to have sex with h I know that he was trying to do a good thing, and yet now, I just feel rejected again I know that’s my problem and not his, but now that I’m here on my own, it just makes me feel like this is how it’ll always be

Maybe I’m crazy I’m not used to affection and love so I assus But Leo has been so willing to give ht was so incredible I went fro held in his arms, pleasured beyond belief by his touch I slept beside hiuess that’s why thisfeels a little hard to s Because now that he isn’t here, there’s no one around to convince ination

I get out of bed and dress slowly I’ today Rachel will probably be wondering where I a because she’s not in ness in me Until I’m certain that Leo and I are solid, I can’t allow oing to work out the way

I’ht into Leo He s me close in his arms
