But now, everything was different.
As his love for her slowly grew deeper and deeper, he realized that if it wasn't her, then it just couldn't be anyone else.
If it wasn't her, he'd rather have nothing at all.
Rachel stared blankly at his handsome face, so close to hers, hearing him say, "So, the only person you can rely on for the rest of your life is me."
As his voice faded, his lips touched hers in a kiss, gentle but full of a kind of possessiveness that made her feel completely powerless.
Rely on each other... Could they really do that?
And so began Rachel's unexpected relationship with Jeffrey.
It wasn't something she had planned at all. But strangely, it felt natural.
Sometimes, it even made her feel like she had gone back to the days they lived together in that small rented apartment.
Like he had turned into the old "Jeffrey" again, the one who let her put her guard down, let her feel safe, and made it easy for her to relax around him.
