Chapter 313: Tell Me
When the lights had gone out, Emily had been running from the darkness. Now she wanted to stay in the dark that the shade of the tree was creating.
I love you, Emily Molson.
The glowing words at the back of the puzzle photo stared up at her, and Emily did not want to blink. She wanted to keep looking at them until she could not anymore.
Of all the things that she had been thinking when she had been searching for the puzzle pieces, and then putting them together. Emily had never once thought that she was holding Derek’s love confession to her in her hands.
She’d had Derek’s love the entire time, and she had never realised.
"Oh, Derek," Emily whispered, running trembling fingers over the glowing letters. It was quite possibly one of the most romantic, and thoughtful gifts that Emily had ever received in her entire life, and she was not exaggerating.
No one had ever taken the time to think to do something like that for her.
"I will treasure this always," She told him, unable to keep the emotion out of her voice.
Kisses in the dark, would have been great after that. But then, the flying, hissing fiend that’d had Emily running in the first place came back. And the two of them decided it was best to head indoors.
Emily carrying the photo puzzle, while Derek walked behind her, shovel in hand. He realy had grown in leaps, and bounds.
It was a very noticeable difference from the time when Emily had been the one carrying their luggage into the motel.
