“I realized you were smart not to trust me.” He brushed
“You never should’ve accepted my job offer, even though I insisted. You should’ve taken one look at me that day at the Aviary and

“You say I don’t know the thoughts that run through your head? Tell me. You say I don’t know the things you’ve done? Show me. Let me in, Blake. Don’t push me away.”
“I do love you.” Blake’s voice cracked. “That’s why I’m letting you go.”
Thwack! Pain blossomed in her palm. Farrah stared at her hand, then at Blake’s face, where a bright red palm print marred his perfect cheek.
“Wait. Let me get this straight.” Justin held up a hand. “You broke up with a girl you’re still in love with because…you’re afraid you’ll hurt her one day? Are you fucking kidding me?”
“Stop trying to decide what’s best for her! She’s in love with you,
you freakin’ doofus. You’re in love with her. Don’t make this so hard. Figure it out.” “She’s not in love with me. And I don’t want to hurt her.”
“What are you looking at? Haven’t you ever seen anyone apologize before?” he growled.
Farrah stroked the bear’s soft fur. “How did you get this here? It’s almost as tall as you.” Pink stained Blake’s cheekbones. “Uber XL.
“I’m not in love with him, you idiot!” she yelled. “I’m not even dating him! God, how dense can you be?” Blake looked thunderstruck. “You’re not?” “No.” Farrah shoved him off her. “We met on a dating app. I’d only known him for two weeks. That night you ran into us? It was our third date. Do you think I’m so fickle that I could turn around and fall in love with someone else just like that?”
“Does that—you fell in love with me again?”
“It’s mine, and mine is yours. A heart for a heart. It’s only fair.”
“It’s still yours, you know. It will never belong
to anyone else. Not in this life, and not in the next thousand lives. You have my heart until the earth stops spinning and the stars turn to dust. You can love it or hate it or forget all about it. But it will always be yours.”
Her breath rushed out in a gust of shock and anger. “What the hell are you doing?” she demanded. “You’re going to get yourself killed!” Blake’s eyes lit up. “You came outside.”
“What are you doing outside in this storm? Are you crazy?” Blake lifted his shoulder with a slight furrow in his brow. “I told you I’m not going anywhere. Not until you give me a chance to explain.”
“You need to get out of those clothes, or you’ll get sick,” Farrah said. “And don’t you dare make a sexual innuendo right now,” she added when Blake opened his mouth to speak.
“Farrah Lin, will you marry me?”
“Yes,” she choked out. “Yes, yes, yes! I’ll marry you!”
