Chapter 27 Confused

• RAYNE
• Oleander’s words hung heavy between us, and I opened and closed my mouth, struggling to find words in response to his declaration. However, before I could locate them, he spoke again.
• “I’m in love with you, Rayne, and I didn’t realize until I saw you that day at the coffee shop. My heart stopped when I looked into your eyes; I knew you were the one. The other half of my heart, my soulmate,” he whispered, cupping my face and holding my gaze and I couldn’t even pull away as he started leaning towards me.
