The appearance of Suzy on Duke's doorstep made me angry and anxious.
Luckily, Duke defused the situation quickly before my insecurities took over, but I wished to rip that shameless woman into pieces. I told her that Drago is my boyfriend and that we don't need her wretched cookies, but the woman was persistent.
Closing the door into that woman's face was a pleasurable experience.
I was touched by Duke's confession in the hallway. He said all the right things, like always.
I was afraid of being lost in the whirlwind of emotions I'm unable to control, yet he told me that he is lost without me and that made me remember the peace and belonging I feel when I'm in his embrace.
Yes, I am full of insecurities, and I have no idea what I'm doing, but I know that when I'm together with Duke, things feel right. He makes everything feel right.
