Capítulo 108: The future

Alyssa breathed in deeply before nodding. She tore off the silver paper to reveal a jewelry box. She slid off the lid to reveal a silver necklace inside with a heart pendant.

"It's beautiful," she murmured as she admired it.

"I just wanted to do something sweet for you. You're my entire heart," Elias told her.

Alyssa gently set the box down as she looked up at him.

"So, nothing is happening?" she asked.

Elias gave her a confused look.

"No. Are you expecting something to happen?" he asked her.

Alyssa sighed as she sat up, knowing that she couldn't keep dodging around the topic. They had to have this talk now.

"I'm moving to New York in a few months," she told him.

Elias smiled faintly.

"I know that," he replied.

Alyssa put her hands together on the surface of the island as she lowered her eyes.
