The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0055

Everything was perfect. Exactly as I had planned. I knew she’d be angry at first but unless she made a public spectacle of leaving me on the dance floor, I have about four and a half minutes to tell her how I feel.

I could see the change in her the minute I started telling her about her mother’s and father’s sacrifices. Her surprise, her mouth dropping open as I went on and on about what her family had done for mine.

As I continued my story, I felt Kai push forward. He wanted Artemis to know that he was also part of this, that he also appreciated what her parents had done for us. It has the desired effect as I see Artemis push forward to join the conversation as well.

someone recognized what I had done. Not hard if you’ve ever seen Artemis in her eyes. But then I decide to go a step further and let her know that I’ve been dreaming about her, hoping she won’t specifically ask about the dreams. She doesn’t ask

her. I don’t know if she’s ready for that yet and I don’t want to scare her off. ‘Kiss her! Kiss her!‘ Kai barks in my head. Instead, I tell her I’d rather save that for our second date, setting it

me if I’m counting this as a date and then gives me that grin, it reminds me of the first lines of All of Me and why I nearly chose that song.
