Chapter 29 : Goodbye, Rose

“Are you sure about this?” Levi asks next to me.

He is leaning against the door frame, hands inside his pants pockets and a serious look on his face.

I nod confidently.

“I am. It's the best way.”

“You don't have to face it alone. We can do this together,” Levi affirms, taking my hand.

I smile at his obvious concern.

“First of all, Rose was my friend. I need to know why she's been acting the way she has. Put an end to her. Alone.”

“I understand.”

Levi kisses my hand softly. I caress his face.

“I will come home soon,” I promise.

He doesn't respond, but puts his hand on my waist and pulls me against his chest. The pressure of his lips finds mine easily.

His eyes are heavy with promise. I smile and turn my back to him, pulling the keys to the sports car from my purse.
