As I approached Travis, I reminded him that she is not the only one in a relationship that other people might consider "wrong."
It reminded her that she has people who are willing to stand behind her if she needs to, and she knows the courage to do the hardest thing of all: talk.But I'm not the only one who realizes what, or rather who caused the change in Gabriela's heart.
Her father looks between Gabriela and Damian's smiling face, then at me and Travis.
"This ... is this all her fault ?!" shouts the governor, glaring at us.
Both Travis's eyes and mine widen. It's one thing to see the governor break in with his daughter. It's another thing to have him on a rampage with us.
"What kind of nonsense have you been filling my daughter's head with? Her job was to get him safely to her destination. At what point did you think it was part of her duty to fill my daughter's head with lofty ideals about love?"

Then he wraps a supportive arm around my shoulders while his other hand absentmindedly rubs the bare arm I've wrapped around his waist.Ever

I reach out and gently place my hand over his erection. The first thing I notice is the texture of it. His skin is incredibly smooth and silky, but he also seems quite fragile, as if he made the slightest wrong move, then my nails would cut him immediately and cause him to bleed. In contrast, the muscle underneath is anything but fragile and vulnerable. It's tough, the way his bicep muscles get tough when he flexes his arm, and it's thick. Thick enough to wrap my fingers around it and give it a gentle squeeze.He lets out a moan of pleasure.Ah okay. That was not my intention, but he hears ...I squeeze it gently again, this time moving my hand from under the mushroom head, to the base of it, and back again.Once again, he lets out a moan of pleasure and again I just get on with it. I continue to stroke him, but notice something that makes doing it a bit difficult. As soft as the meat is, it is not sli

"Well, this is a bit of a role reversal, right?" he asks as she approaches from behind and stands close to my side."Well, if you can tell your old team about us, then I can tell her the good news of our engagement." I smile without taking my eyes off the sand-colored headstone in front of me.Travis puts an arm around my shoulders, pushes me against his side, and kisses me lightly on the top of my head."Are you sure you didn't roll it in her grave?"I laughed and quickly covered my mouth with my hand guiltily. In such an environment, people are supposed to be calm and solemn, not laugh out loud at the expense of the deceased, but when I look at Travis to reprimand him for making me laugh inappropriately in the first place, I see that he is not smiling."Oh my God, you are serious! Travis, you said it yourself: Christina had nothing against you, it was your father she was looking for""It doesn't change the fact that the son of his greatest

Perhaps it was because we were unconsciously moving faster, our desire to finally get home stimulated us. Or maybe it was because our hearts and minds were now lighter, the problems of before no longer weighed down or overwhelmed us, but for whatever reason, Travis, myself, and the rest of our fellow travelers are closer From home.We both sat down once more under what has now become "our tree" and talked quietly about our plans for the future."Are you sure?""I'm positive""Jane, if you're worried about costs, you really shouldn't be. I only hide in the account when we all go out to eat because I think it's funny. The truth is, I have more than enough money saved from all the classified missions and other high-ranking missions that I have had over the years""And I have more than enough money saved from my missions and from working as an

There is something about being back home, especially after a very long time away. It's a relief to be back where you know where everything is, how everything works, and overall it's just familiar and more convenient.As much as I enjoyed the frankness and quirkiness of that Japanese town with its cloudless blue skies towering above my head and the flat, desert land that stretches infinitely around me (except on the busy and crowded streets). , of course). I'd rather be back in my town with its thick canopies of sprinkled leaves and branches and streaks of dappled light. It makes me feel protected, safe, healthy, and safe at home.Home.The very thought of saying it makes me feel a warm, heartbreaking feeling around my heart that hurts a little, but it's nice to feel that kind of yearning pain now and then ... It reminds you to be grateful for what you have and sometimes we give. for granted."You seem

I smile in triumph."That?" Mrs. Shiji creeps in with a crooked smile on her face."If the worst thing Travis can do is bother me once in a while, I think we'll be fine in the long run." I smile back.Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see something rise rapidly a few inches from her head and another is heading straight for her."NO!" Scream.I quickly push Mrs. Shiji aside, pull a knife out of my sheath, and deflect the projectiles with the plane of my weapon."We are being attacked!" I yell at the others, but when I turn to look at them, they are already deflecting projectiles with their swords."Dispersion!" Travis instructs the unarmed members of our convoy.In an instant, the servants and servants are launched in different directions through the dense forests. On the way to Japan and on the way back, Travis had instructed each member of our convoy on what to do in case we were attacked."We are a large group," he

"I'll get you a bed. It can't be comfortable for him to sleep like this""Was he here all night again?""All-day, all night ... He never leaves! He hasn't set foot outside that door since it was brought in! He says that he wants to be here when she wakes up""Really?""Yeah, he won't even go down to the cafeteria to eat. We started to care so much about him that the other nurses and I started bringing him food, but even then he barely touches it""I see. He ... he cares about her, doesn't he?"Well, let me put it this way, sir: Travis baker is not the type of man who likes to show how he feels, but with her, with her daughter ... I know he may not be the most conventional of all relationships, but it's certainly not the worst either, especially when you see them together ... like this."Yes, I see what you mean ...

"You can come home and stay with me and your mother. Anyway, we've missed you" Dad says cheerfully, gently rubbing the blanket with his covered leg.I just smile back and say nothing because as much as I love my parents, going home is the last thing I want to do. Leaving home was my sign of independence and coming home would be like taking a step back. Not only that, but I also know that Mom and Dad will worry about me all the time and unlike Madame Shiji, they still haven't learned the difference between "suffocate" and "let go" yet."Rose also offered to take you back as her roommate or she can move in with you and act as a full-time doctor in your apartment," Blanca says.Although a little better, again it is not one of the best offers I have heard so far.
