"Yes!" Abigail replied, lowering her head and avoiding eye contact with him. She felt too shy to meet his gaze.
"But, Sawyer, you know how my heart is?" she continued in a barely audible tone, trying to remind him of her recent failed relationship. It would be dishonest to say that she loved him, too.
"I know," Sawyer responded firmly. He didn't mind; he was willing to wait until she had fully healed and could return his love equally.
"Thanks, Sawyer. I hope it doesn't take me long."
"I understand, Abby. The important thing now is that you officially become my girl. We are officially dating, right?"
Abigail took a deep breath, feeling a mix of emotions at his excitement.
"Yes, we are..." she replied, stifling a laugh when she saw how wide his smile had grown. However, she froze when she noticed him standing up from his chair and approaching her.
