Chapter 81

• "Well?" She pressed, then sighed. She closed her eyes and willed courage into herself before opening them again. Here goes nothing.

I like you Jaxon. I like you a lot. I don't know how or when it started but what I feel for you is strong." She paused, her voice cracking as she spoke. She had not planned on pouring her heart out to him today.
