Geoffrey entered the drawing roo form The doors were shut, and he walked towards her Then, he sat on the coffee table in front of the Sofa

For a few minutes, he just observed her peaceful features as she slept Vaguely, he realized that it was the first time he saw her with such vulnerability

He used his right hand to brush some of her stray hair away from her face Then, he stared at her in contemplation

For als were rough, it was always her face that he thought of She served as his motivation and inspiration That whatever co for him in the finish line, was her

He loved her with all of him and perhaps evenAnd perhaps, it was a mistake on his part to do that for she never did say that she felt the saed, and she has been pro himself

He placed his hand on her cheek as he used his thumb to caress her lips Then, he leaned forward to kiss her forehead Silently, he said a little prayer in hopes that all his doubts and suspicions were only just that

Every single person he cared for and held dear to his heart has already betrayed him

His father who he looked up to and loved sothem compete like chickens in a cockpit

His own ive him her unconditional love has only ever seen hilory he could give her
