Chapter 251: I've Never Been One for Fairy Tales

He keeps our conversation on mostly safe topics as if he knows there are things I don't want to discuss.

"Were you as surprised as I was that they are moving in together?" he asks me with a massive smirk on his face.

I giggle as I nod my head.

"It just seemed so quick..."

"Like so quick!" he agrees.

"They will be happy though?"

I can't help but seek his reassurance. I don't believe in happily ever after. I don't believe in love at first sight or marriage until death.

I've never been one for fairy tales and promises that people believe won't be broken.

Promises are always broken. Just like my mum broke her promise when she died. His word is just as meaningless and yet I seem to crave it, need it.

"I hope so." He looks at me, his eyes thoughtful. "I've never seen Landon like this over a girl. He does care about her. That much I am sure about."

I try to think up a response, but nothing comes to mind, so instead, I just give him a sad little smile before changing the subject.
