Chapter 202

• "Well, you are worth everything, Regina. In the span of months, I've come to know you better than anyone, and I've seen how much you've had to suffer in the arms of someone who doesn't deserve you." Sophia sees a frown take over Regina's smile, and allows her thumb to caress along her bottom lip once more. "Well, understand this. Now that you're mine- because you are mine- I would never rush you into anything that you aren't ready for. I could wait a lifetime for you, and I will, if that's what it takes." She smiles upon seeing a small smile stretch out on Regina's lips. "As for kissing… That's just a force of habit, but… I'll try to be more careful next time. Unless you ask otherwise."
• "Is this how you are with every girl you've dated, Ms. Nolan," Regina dares herself to smile when she hears a chuckle escape Sophia's lips. "Because you are good. Be honest, that's how you get them to fall in love with you, isn't it?"
• Sophia shakes her head, "No. I had my moments with every one of them, I won't deny that. But, with you, Regina… Everything is so authentic. To be honest, I never even spoke to Elise this way." Sophia feels a little uncomfortable and harsh saying this, but it's true.
