One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 132: Some things haven't changed

~~~I think I finally know you, I can see beyond your smile. I think that I can show you that what we have is still worthwhile. Don't you know that love's just like the thread that keeps unravelling, but then it ties us back together in the end? In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections. In your eyes, found the answers to my questions. And I think I've finally learned to love you more~~~

I frowned in confusion as she already jumped out of the counter. "What the heck---" but I didn't get the chance to continue what I was saying because when I turned around, I found Luke standing on the opposite side of the
