"Are you feeling better?" Alex asked. He could see that Abbie's face looked a lot better compared to yesterday.
"Yes," Abbie answered with a smile. "It's all thanks to you, Alex."
Abbie felt that her heart was at peace. It made her feel that everything that happened to her a week ago was nothing more than a joke. Although she was still hesitant to fully accept Alex's advances, she didn't reject it either. In her mind, she needed to have a heart to heart talk with her little Alex and understand his true feelings.
Then and only then would she allow herself to take that next step in their relationship.
'Still, dating an eight-year-old is a bit…' Abbie could only helplessly shake her head as she strolled the beach with the handsome man next to her.
