Excitement bubbled up inside her.

Catching up, she wrapped her arms around his waist.
“I heard you!
You're my boyfriend now.
You have to keep your promise.
Benny stiffened but didn’t push her away.

Flossie peeked at the man beside her and snuggled closer.

He was about to push her hand away when Flossie spoke.
“This is perfect! Now you can cto Stella’s wedding as my boyfriend.

Flossie, on the other hand, drifted back to the dark days of the past.
She was filled with gratitude for the present.
It felt like a dream.
“Once you're fully recovered, | can return to work,” Flossie said softly.
Her heart bubbled with hope and happiness for their future together.
As Flossie fell asleep with a peaceful breath, Benny looked down at her, then looked away.
He realized he had acted impulsively.
He had asked her to be his girlfriend due to gratitude.
Now, with a calmer mind, he questioned his decision.
Flossie and Stella were good friends.
Hurting Stella to get back at Matthew would deeply hurt Flossie too.
