Mag-log inGrey's POV “I had this entire plan to go to dinner and then the boardwalk. I’d even rehearsed what to say at least a thousand times today…But I realized that when you’ve lived through what we have, the promises were already there. To me, a ring a no ring, yes or a no, my heart is and always will be
Elodie's POV SIX MONTHS LATER I'd already been waiting three hours after his meeting and my patience was too thin to test. He'd been acting shifty all day, almost as if he was hiding something. In fact, I knew he had been with the way he shuffled away from me whenever I tried to look at the screen
"I swear to God if I survive this I am going to become a demanding girlfriend." I grinned at the title she gave herself that I loved hearing, even in anger. Maybe even more so. "I will do everything with a smile. Now please, baby, you have to go." She sighed before standing. Leaning over me with a

The same one was decorated by his tastes, chosen by his decision, and left more of a bachelor pad than a couple s

Elodie's POV I've gone back on and off through the week, only to be met with what felt like more of his mind games. His mischievous smile as if he could read my mind was enough to derail my thoughts more times than I'd like to admit. His curious fingers somehow always managed to find mine while I w
