Chapitre 264: Chapter 264: HE NEEDED TO KNOW: VALERIE

"Flynn Docherty, since I was fifteen you have owned my heart. You were my knight in shining armor then and have protected me from the first day we met. My feelings for you were instantaneous and heartfelt. I had no idea when my brother, Kayden, told me Martin was bringing you home with him that he'd be bringing the boy I'd fall in love with. When you left to go back to college, I wondered if I'd ever see you again. The night you left I wasn't hurt when you did the right thing. It was much worse, I was badly wounded because I couldn't see what you could back then. I still remember your warnings, when you told me to stay away. You said that you'd hurt me because you were no good for me. And then you were gone, but not before I'd fallen for you. We'd never had a proper kiss, yet all it had taken for you to sneak under my skin and seep into my soul was your smile and the way you looked at me."
