Chapter 0214

“Valerie, you made that promise while you were mourning a good man. But I believe, from wherever he is, he’d want you to be with someone who loves and values you. I’m not just saying this to cheer Marcus on, but have you ever noticed the way he looks at you? The way he’s helped you? That man’s pushed you past the limits you set for yourself. Look at you now–going back to college!”

“Camille… I’m scared.”

“Scared of what? Of being loved back? of feeling someone’s love for you? Of being happy?”

“I am happy!”

“Not this kind of happiness. I mean the joy of being in a relationship. The kind of happiness a man can give you. I’m not saying to go wild, but you’re young and deserve a good partner.”

“Camille, I’m tired. I’m going to bed.”

“Think it through. If I were you, there wouldn’t be much to think about. Goodnight, sweetheart,” Camille said, heading to her room. She watched Valerie retreat to her own.

The next morning, Valerie got ready for work, feeling exhausted and sleep–deprived. On the metro, she closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them, she nearly missed her stop. She hurried off and walked to the office, using the time to sort through her thoughts. She’d made a decision: she would give love another chance, as long as Serenity was okay with it.

When she arrived at Marcus’s office, she was surprised to see Frederick already there.
