Chapter 122

Gabby

"Do you really expect her to come see you?" Valentina asks as we stand behind the case, taking a bit of a break in the space between our breakfast and lunch rush. We're learning that this is the calm before the storm.

"I hope so..."

"You sure?" she scoffs giving me a sarcastic smile. I don't expect it out of her, but it's just a little glimpse of her personality. Every once in a while, she'll give me a small amount, and I can't wait until she trusts me enough to give me all of it. I think most of her life she was stifled, and now that she's able to let it go? She's going to have people lining up to date her and be her friend. 

I clear my throat, shaking my head. "I'm not sure of anything other than the fact I want to be with Barrett. He's pushed himself into my life in ways I never thought another man would."

"You've been married before, right?"
