Chapter 146: I Trust You
Inside the restroom, Abigail walked into one of the toilet stalls and sat down on the toilet seat, then she took out the folded letter which Jamal had given to her and unfolded it.
Abigail’s lips curved in a smile as she read the first line.
[To the Queen of my heart,
I tried to write a serious letter clearing the air and stuff. I really did. But my heart and pen had other plans. Every time I tried to sound smooth, it laughed at me. So, here’s the truth... in the only way I know how to say it.
Do you know what happens to me when you look at me with those big beautiful hazel eyes of yours? My brain stops working. My legs forget how to walk. My tongue decides to take a nap.]
Abigail blinked and read it again, then she laughed softly, her shoulders shaking. She covered her mouth with one hand as she kept reading.
[I think you’re sunshine. Not the soft kind that peeks through clouds. No, you’re the kind that shows up after a storm and brightens up everything.
I don’t need sugar in my coffee when you’re around, because watching you makes coffee taste better. Your presence makes quiet feel full. Your inner strength and sense of humor are qualities that endear me to you even more.]
Abigail pressed a hand to her chest. She was smiling really hard now. Inside the quiet restroom stall, she felt like she was in her own little world. A world where only Jamal existed. And his silly, wonderful letter.
[And when you laugh? Oh, my love... even the birds stop singing just to listen. Your voice is my favorite music. I could listen to it all day long.
And if I haven’t said it plainly enough yet... here it is: I love you, my Queen. Probably more than I should. Definitely more than I imagined possible. But never more than you deserve.
