Lyla
I and Nathan sat in silence in his car outside the packhouse of Blue Ridge. We arrived nearly twenty minutes ago but no one was in the mood to leave yet.
My mind was running with a lot of conflicting emotions, I traced the edge of my blouse absently replaying everything that had happened today over and over. Suddenly announcing to Ramsey that Nathan had proposed to me without first accepting Nathan's proposal properly was so embarrassing that I couldn't even look at Nathan.
Did he think I was using him as a shield against Ramsey? Shame crept up to my cheeks at the thought but I shook my head again, trying to dispel the thoughts.
The silence stretched between us, comfortable yet filled with a lot of unspoken thoughts. Finally, Nathan broke the silence.
"Did you mean it?" he asked quietly "About accepting my proposal?"
