"You..." Rebecca Quentin was once again rendered speechless by Howard Geoffrey.
Howard Geoffrey gazed deeply at Rebecca Quentin's beautiful face, which she showed in a fit of pique, as if he could never get enough. It was only after a long time that he, with a hoarse voice, whispered, "Becca, say it to me once more, 'You love me.'
Her gaze met his.
At that moment when their eyes met, she suddenly dispelled her anger at him and had no urge to blame him. All she felt was her heart's barrier, which was just recently built up, being easily shattered by him again.
She was, of course, still angry about what he said about 'ending,' and despised herself for not being able to harden her heart when facing him. She was conflicted, knowing that if she stayed with him, there would be many issues between them. Yet, when he wanted her to say those words, she suddenly felt powerless...
Yes, powerless to reject him.
