Chapter 59

• I try and savour the moment as much as I can before my heavy eyelids claim victory over me. The calm, the quiet, the peacefulness. It's not something I find often, and yet it's in abundance here with this bewitching, sometimes irritating, always beautiful girl next to me.
• "So....who is she?" Eloise leans forward in her seat to question me as I take a large sip of my coffee. It's been a long morning, Wednesday's always are, and now I've been roped into having lunch with my mum. I know instantly who she is referring to, Amelia. I haven't seen her since Monday morning, when she slipped out of my bed and left me a soft kiss on the lips before rushing off to her first class. I promised her I would call her later in the week, I make the mental note to do so after this tedious lunch is over.
• "Mum..." I groan at her question, she knows I don't like to talk to her openly about my relationships. She sees them in the paper, she asks me about them, and I never talk. That's always been our way, yet she doesn't quite get the message that I'm not going to openly discuss my relationships with her.
