Chapter 279: There Are No Words

Jarrod's POV:

There are no words.

It's the sort of cheesy phrase I'd never normally say but right now it's exactly how I feel. There are no words to describe how amazing Tallulah Conway is or how amazing it feels to have her trust.

Intimacy, real intimacy costs. It's never free. It's a risk, a danger.

Tallulah Conway let me love her today. It's not about sex or the fact I gave her an orgasm - although I did - it was more than that.

Tallulah trusted me with her soul. She let me hold its broken fragments.

It cost her, it probably hurt, and I know it scared the sh*t out of her, but she actually did it.

And she didn't run.

She wants to try. She wants to be my girlfriend. We haven't made it official but at least I know she wants it. She wants the future I'm offering her.

She actually let me touch her and she didn't RUN. She didn't even flinch.

Tallulah Conway is the bravest person I know.
