Chapter 39

• [Ariya’s POV]
• "I don't just love you. I love you so much, Ariya. Don't worry because I'm not pressuring you. I can wait no matter how long. I'll do anything to make you fall in love with me. But even if that doesn't happen, I'll still love you in the best way I know."
• My tears welled up even more because of that. I sniffed, as my heart was overwhelmed with intense emotions. When I realized I was in love with Christopher, I didn't dare assume that he'd love me back. Yes, I hoped, but not this quickly. "I love you, too, Christopher," I managed to say, my response choked with tears. I couldn't stop myself from crying. He, on the other hand, looked surprised and taken aback.
