Avelina said to him.
"You see, what's special about this man is that he sees me for me. I do not know how to explain it, but he makes me feel valued beyond just the surface of beauty. He loves my flaws, and even things people dislike about me, he loves them."
"He made me realize my worth, so...how could I not love him this much and stoop this low?" She exhaled.
Edward's jaw clenched in deep disgust. He scowled. "So what? I see you much more than that!"
"Huh?" Avelina was stunned for a few seconds. "What do you mean by that?"
Edward took a deep breath. This was finally his chance. Now that she was having questions and second thoughts, he could tell her how he felt and let her know. It might be his chance to finally make her his.
"Listen, Avelina, I know this may be coming out of the blue, but...I feel something for you. No, I love you. I do, I really do."
"What?" Was the only word Avelina could utter.
