Bella rushed into Jett's arms before dinner. "Mmm. My lover. Want to go back to my room after we eat?"
Jett pulled her away, holding her at arm's length, saying, "We need to talk."
He sat her on the couch of the library, sitting next to her.
"What's going on?"
Bella saw his eyes were red and swollen. Something was wrong.
"Bella, I want you to know that I love you. But... that thing is... we have two different lives and..."
"No! No! Don't you dare say it. No, Jett. Please don't?" She cried.
"Bella, we can't do this. You know that they will never allow us to be together. Please forgive me."
"We can try... please? Don't do this to me."
"I don't think we should see each other again. I'm sorry." Jett couldn't look at her. Hearing her cry was killing him. He got up, kissing her cheek as he did. "I will never love another woman. I promise. I'm so sorry." Jett walked out of the room, leaving her alone.
