Chapter 17 : Goddess Above

*Rafe’s POV*

The park was just as sad and desolate as last time, and at night, it made me more anxious for what was to come. There was no good way to do this though.

No. I either did it Lila’s way or gave up now, and the latter wasn’t really an option. To think only a few weeks ago we were in love and going on fantastic dates. Now, here I was about to tell her the biggest secret I’ve ever kept.

Why couldn’t my secret be something normal, or just out there? Like I had height surgery to make myself taller, or that I was wanted by the government for funneling tax money into charities? Not secrets of the fantastical variety at least.

So, here I was, not knowing what I was doing as I waited in the park with a bouquet of flowers. I was early this time, seeing as last time probably didn’t help my case and Lila would only be so understanding to a point. One I didn’t want to reach.
