Kapitel 27: Chapter 27 The Invitation

Kelly’s POV

I sniffed and tried to calm myself when I felt Klay’s presence behind me. I looked down and wiped my wet cheeks, avoiding eye contact with him through the mirror.

“You don’t have to hide anything from me, Kelly.”

I squeezed my eyes closed and tightened my grip on the sink. I felt Klay hold my waist and made me face him. I opened my eyes when he gently cupped my cheeks, wiping my tears.

“He doesn’t deserve you.”

Biting my bottom lip, I met his eyes. “I want to forget him, Klay. I’ve been trying but I think I’m just fooling myself.”

He pressed his forehead on mine as our eyes locked. For a moment, I was frozen because of what he did. The coldest man I’ve ever known just showed sympathy. I don’t know what to do.

“You can forget him, Kelly. I will help you.”

“W-What do you mean?” My heart raced at the same time a certain emotion flickered in his eyes.
