125 Meeting Cassidy…
Lyla
I and Nathan sat in silence in his car outside the packhouse of Blue Ridge. We arrived nearly twenty minutes ago but no one was in the mood to leave yet.
My mind was running with a lot of conflicting emotions, I traced the edge of my blouse absently replaying everything that had happened today over and over. Suddenly announcing to Ramsey that Nathan had proposed to me without first accepting Nathan’s proposal properly was so embarrassing that I couldn’t even look at Nathan.
Did he think I was using him as a shield against Ramsey? Shame crept up to my cheeks at the thought but I shook my head again, trying to dispel the thoughts.
The silence stretched between us, comfortable yet filled with a lot of unspoken thoughts. Finally, Nathan
broke the silence.
“Did you mean it?” he asked quietly “About accepting my proposal?”

My heart skipped a beat. I turned to him, the sincerity in his gaze numbing my heart. Swallowing hard, I nodded.
“I do.”
A small smile touched his lips as they curved into a wide grin making my chest tighten with more guilt and uncertainty. “Okay,” he said simply as though my response was all he needed to hear.
The warmth in his smile made me uneasy – it was too forgiving, too kind. I fidgeted with the hem of my skirt trying to come up with the best way to express myself. Finally, I gathered the courage.
“Nathan…” I began hesitantly.
He turned to me, giving me another small smile. “Is everything alright?” he asked.
“Everything is fine it’s just that I have a lot going on back in the human world and now I don’t know If I’m
ready to leave everything I had there and come back here. There’s so much at stake now. My job, my life back there… I just…”
I inhaled deeply.

“I don’t think I might be accepting this position whatever it is anytime soon. I think I made a mistake; I led everyone into believing that I wanted to live here and now… I just don’t know how to feel. Even if I do how can I explain to them that…”
Nathan reached over, gently placing a finger on my lips, stopping me mid–sentence. “Lyla,” he called softly, “all I want right now – all I want to know is if you truly want to be with me. Everything else? We’ll figure it out
later.”
The tenderness in his voice made my throat tighten
