Chapter 43

• Isabelle's point of view
• THE BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF BIRDS chirping in my ears and the rays of sunlight on my face wake me up. My eyelids flicker before I can fully open my eyes. I see the familiar ceiling of my room, but strangely, the plain white woods look more beautiful now. Everything around me seems and feels more beautiful, because nothing can top what I'm feeling inside.
• A soft smile touches my lips as my mind flashes back to memories of last night. I turn to face the person who has just made me the happiest girl in the world again, who wrapped me in his embrace before we went to sleep last night.
