Taylor's intense gaze brought back some emotions for me. The very same sensations of familiarity and grief that Storm felt when he approached me that day poured over me.
I observed as Taylor let go of the bouquet, which landed on the ground. He gave me a heartbreaking look as he turned to gaze at Storm, standing behind me.
Taylor said, "What did you just say?" and I was mute. By his sides, he tightened his fists. The question, "Is she your mate?"
I noticed Storm nodding in response to Taylor's query as Taylor stumbled backwards at the revelation when I turned to face him.
I couldn't even talk as I began to breathe deeply. "What about the other stuff you said just now, Rose? Are they all true?" I asked. I was at a loss for words.
"Taylor, would you please hear me?"
Taylor yelled at me, "Are they true?" and I grudgingly nodded. "So, the entire time, you lied to me?"
