บท 142: Deserving you

Natalie arrived at the hotel where Devonte was waiting, and he stood to embrace her. "You don't look happy."

She kissed his cheek before sitting down when he pulled a chair for her. "I'm sorry I'm late." She apologized.

"My love, why would such a silly thing make you sad? Do you think I would be mad at you for just this?" He took her hand in his, kissing her knuckles gently.

"I know you wouldn't." A frown was still settled on her face.

"What's wrong?" He gently asked.

She shook her head. "Let's not talk about it right now. It might ruin our date." If she knew that she would still be in a bad mood after meeting him, she would have opted to cancel the date. However, that would have disappointed him so it was much better to pull herself together.

"No it won't. What's wrong?" He pried. He didn't want her to be sad about anything and if they could solve whatever it was, it would be for the best.
