"Something to distract our thoughts until this passes. You all look like your hearts are going to explode right through your chests."

Her eyes told him she meant what she said. He smiled gently at her, but inside his evil heart was laughing evilly. He then hugged her in his arms. She hugged him back with a happy smile on her face.

"My heart tells me of good, but you're a crescent, my head says otherwise," he said to me. "These words sounds different and strange to me, but I do not fear rejection." I replied, squaring my chin.

Wayne felt as though a knife were carving straight into his heart. He refused to believe it. An act? If it was all an act, then what had he done these past months for Alma? He had taken from me the one thing my mother had left behind. He allowed Alma to hurt BunBun to the point of death.

"This is the 99th time you got 'cold feet', so when will we attempt another escape to round it up to 100? "You never wanted to marry me in the first place, did you, Xavier? You've just been toying with me this whole time." Xavier's eyes widened, and shame welled up in him when he realized Aurora had seen through his plans. "I… That's not true. You know how much I love you, Rory." Aurora let out a self-deprecating laugh. "And yet… your love isn't even enough to save our baby."
