Chapter 34 Humiliated In Front Of Everyone

• *Rose*
• I welcome the warm sun pouring into my room. I sit on the rocking chair beside the window and watch the fountain below as my mind swims. “I love you…” I couldn’t have dreamt or imagined those words. Eli had said he loved me. Had he only said it as he was still high from the dizzying passion or did he really mean it?
• I want to just close my eyes and bask in those words just for a while longer… no man has ever said those words to me before.
