“I think you’re just overreacting,” I said as I waved off his concerns.
“Also, it is inaccurate to say that you don’t matter,” Zain said so softly that I almost didn’t catch his words at first.
“What do you mean by that?” I asked as I tore my gaze away from the sparkling diamond necklace that I had been eyeing.
“You do matter…” Zain replied in short.
The way he said those words to me sounded sincere enough to make my chest feel tight. I wanted to believe him but that didn’t mean that I completely understood what he meant. I cocked my head slightly to the side as I pondered and flipped around his words in my mind. The movement of the boutique door opening caught my attention as my eyes focused on the person that had just walked in. For a moment, I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing.
“You’re finally here…” Zain said without hiding his relief.
