Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 420

The silence in the car became palpable as Gilbert sneaked a glance at Sherilyn through the rearview mirror, silently urging himself to understand her

Sherilyn was missing her mom today, feeling down. He was worried about her, of course, but he also knew he needed to be understanding.

What was the rush, after all? They had only just reconciled a couple of days ago.

Relationships weren’t built overnight.

As usual, Gilbert pulled up at the entrance to the Sunset Ridge Community, wanting to walk her in, “Sherilyn, I’ll just have a quick word with the security guard.”

“No need.” Sherilyn waved him off. “Thanks for today. I’m tired and just need some time alone. I’ll call you tomorrow”

Then, suddenly leaning in, she gave Gilbert a quick kiss on the lips.

“Bye, goodnight.”

“Bye…”

That kiss left Gilbert stunned, a tingling sensation spreading from his heart to his fingertips.

Watching Sherilyn walk away, he felt like he was in a daze, “…Goodnight.”
