*~*Zaley's POV*~*
As I stood there, thinking about everything Edmond was telling me, I must have looked worried or skeptical in some way. While my mind was running at least a mile a minute, I heard him speak once more. This time, his tone was soft and tender.
"Zaley, will you take the time to speak with me? So that we may discuss what will happen from here on out." Edmond's eyes, the same eyes I saw in the mirror every day, were filled with love, but they were also brimming with worry and unshed tears. He longed to correct the mistakes of his past, and he was attempting to do so with me at his side.
