Chapter 23

• Kiara:
• I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t smiling like an idiot. The one thought that swarmed through my mind was the date I was in, the fact that it was a real date. Free of boundaries, free of being fake for someone, I wasn’t trying to impress him and I knew for fact that he wasn’t trying to impress me either. The man was being as genuine as I was being, and I was going to be lying if I said that I didn’t like it.
• “I take it things went well?” Grace asked taking sight of me as I entered the house looking like I won a billion dollars. She raised an eyebrow at me as she waited for me to explain my situation and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my face as I remembered the date. I knew that I was being stupid for believing what he was doing after everything. But I couldn’t help but want to live the moment. Having struggled enough, I wanted to believe that something good happened, even if it was momentary.
