Chapter 56

• SCARLET
• Nothing. Everything I’d planned for myself these past weeks turned into nothing.
• I’d planned on getting away, leaving everything behind, and moving to Scotland for another peaceful year. I was ready to accept the opportunity that was waiting for me in another part of the world. But that was a few minutes ago until Luke expressed an unexpected confession.
• Right. I’m completely moved.
• I shut my eyes; my head was consumed with too many thoughts.
• The one-sided relationship I thought existed was just from my point of view. He felt the same for me. I slowly opened my eyes to peek at him. Luke traced his thumbs under my eyes to wipe my tears tenderly.
