Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 80

-CLARA-

Damon and I walked out of the ring store after finally letting myself pick the diamond ring the employee had suggested and then got my fingers measured

I was feeling a bit over the top, it was a first. I loved that I didn’t let anyone’s eerie thoughts about me cloud my thoughts or tried to make me feel bad about myself

And I loved the fact that Damon had made me feel even better about myself.

To me he was once an annoying man, but now all rock of solidarity and assurance was all I could see now.

Gwen and her brothers had hopped into my room after working behind the house, and I was sure enthusiastic about their presence

We were both having multiple conversations at once when I decided to plunge into a route she never saw coming

“And Gwen. Do you have anybody you actually like?” The moment I asked, she stopped breathing and her cheeks immediately looked like they’d been stuffed with chestnuts. Hotones to be precise.

“Why would you suddenly ask

k that?” Her eyes were wide open like I had slapped her.

“It’s just a question” I pressed.

She sighed, and gently watched as crimson red scattered all over her features like a child.

I tried not to laugh.

I glanced at Steven who passed me another look before handing it over to Gwen and urged her to speak.
