I Want To Leave

Sarah's POV:

"Is that how you view me?" I asked, and he shook his head in denial.

"Do you want to know what I think of you?" he asked, and I nodded.

"Then come with me tonight; let's attend a gala, and you will understand everything I am trying to say."

"Tonight?" I was supposed to have dinner with Anthony tonight, but I didn't know how to say no to Jacob with Anthony as my excuse.

"You made plans?"

"Uhm, no… I just don't have a dress for a gala, and it's not my type of gathering." I finally came up with an excuse, and he chuckled.

"I will deliver a dress for you, and don't bother. It's a private mask party; no one will pay attention to you."

After a lot of contemplation, I finally gave in and sipped from my juice. "Can I ask a question?" I suddenly asked, and he nodded.

"Why are you helping me so much? Is it all for Elma?"
