Please Come Back, Honey!

Please Come Back, Honey! Chapter 126

Zachary understood where Trevor was coming from. After all, he had broken his usual silence in their four-member group chat last night by texting out-of-the-blue, ‘I’ll talk to Emma tomorrow.’

When the text popped up in the group, Zachary was drinking, and he nearly spat out his wine in a comical fashion when he read the text. He then swallowed the wine and quickly responded, ‘Good luck on the grand gesture!’

Flustered, Trevor replied, ‘No one said anything about a grand gesture.’

This was met with an immediate and almost thoughtless text from Kaleb, who said, ‘Good luck on the grand gesture.’

Before Trevor could argue, Raymond added unhelpfully, ‘Good luck on the grand gesture.’

The series of supportive texts from his friends left Trevor speechless, and he conveyed this through ellipses before ignoring the group chat once more. He had tried to be subtle when he told his friends of his plans to ‘talk’ to Emma, but it looked like they had figured out what the talk would be about. Why else would he talk to Emma if not tell her he had feelings for her? They were amused by his evasive behavior, but they knew he simply couldn’t bring himself to admit the truth.

Alas, none of them expected that the great Mr. Bateson’s love confession to Emma would be foiled by his sister, Arianna. As things were, Emma probably hated his guts, and this obliterated any chance he might have at redeeming himself. He could try to make his feelings for her known, but there was no telling if she would even listen to him or believe him.

Trevor must have considered this possibility as well, otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a grizzly mood.

Presently, Zachary clapped Trevor’s shoulder and said comfortingly, “The road that leads to the greatest love story of your life might seem endless, but you have to know that the most amazing things don’t come easy. You won’t appreciate it unless you’ve been through hell to get it.”

Visibly irritated by the sage advice, Trevor smacked his friend’s hand away and stalked off to the hospital room.
