195 Long Awaited

Scarlett's POV

"Is it true?" I ask Sebastian.

He avoids my question: "I will look into this, I promise!"

In that second all sound fade away. I can't hear anything and I don't see any one. No one but the man who I loved for over a decade. The man who saved me once, who said that he loved me and wanted another chance with me. The man who was telling me how excited he was about the baby he gave me.
