New Shores Part 9 (New Shores)

"Zeph, can we talk alone, please? Just talk, if we did more...

...my heart would grow confused and be unable to separate dream from reality."

"Of course Candi. Should I ask Alora to step out so we can actually be alone?"

Candi weakly shook her head and followed Zeph into his office, closing the door behind her.

Taking a deep breath Candi began to pour her heart out to Zeph.

"These last few days have been wonderful and like a dream for me Zeph, but worry that I might have made the wrong choice. Seeing how he reacted when he saw Mother climbing out of the back of your jet that you had to have pushed to its limits to bring here, filled my heart with joy and sorrow at the same time."

"As much as I love Justin, hearing you say that you loved me that first night under the stars made my heart leap for joy even if part of me felt like you were just saying it because of how I wished Naamah luck in getting you to say it to her."
