After reading the message, Kahlan fell backwards on her bed rolling on the bed with ecstasy. "oh my God! oh my God!" she exclaimed incessantly as she continued rolling on the bed. She was so happy and felt so sweet, she could die from it. Suddenly sitting up, she shouted "ah! he said thirty minutes. gosh! what am I going to wear. my goodness! I'm a mess" she immediately ran into her little bathroom to have her shower. Leo told her to meet him at a cafe down the road, it's been two weeks since she last heard from him. 'I bet he's back for good this time' she thought as she scooped up water pouring it on her body, she curled her toes as goose bumps filled her body. It was so cold, really cold. This continuous cold shower has taken a toll on her health but what could she do. she had no money to pay for heater, sighing she suddenly remembered her Leo again and smiled sweetly. She had to hurry up, she couldn't keep him waiting. She met Leo five months ago at a restaurant where she worked as a waitress, she had just started work and was nervous because of her timid personality she was even scared. She remembered spilling coffee on Leo and the manager immediately rushed to the scene yelling and spewing cuss words at her. She was so scared and immediately tried to clean off the spilt coffee on his before spotlessly white shirt. Now anyone would have been angry enough to scream and rebuke her but Leo's voice sounded ever so gentle as he elegantly spoke in Italia to the manager making her calm down. She was still shaking with her head down waiting to be yelled at by him but he gently helped her off the floor, then he gently spoke in fluent English "don't be scared dear. it was not your fault, I'm fine" Then, she looked up in surprise and then was shocked when she saw his face. His dark hair was carefully combed back, dark and thick eyebrows, well sculpted face, his clear eyes was filled with intelligence and warmth that sucked in her soul he looked like a typical prince charming, so handsome! She opened her mouth to say something but couldn't find her voice so she stood with wide eyes and agape mouth making Leo break out in laughter. The deep laughter resonated in the air and seemed to lit up the restaurant and her dark life. It was love at first sight and she fell deeper into the pit of love everyday after getting to know him. She liked him so much and still couldn't believe it when he asked her out 3 months later after they met, she still felt like she's in a dream.
She worked really hard to grow and make herself a better person to be able to equally stand shoulder to shoulder with him as his woman unashamedly.
