Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1089

As they strolled through the dimly lit park, Sherilyn squinted at a peculiar sight. Something was shimmering up in the trees. "Hey, Gilbert," she said, nudging him. "I can't reach it. Can you give me a hand?"

"Sure thing," Gilbert replied with a grin. Without hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her waist and hoisted her up into the air.

"Whoa!" Sherilyn yelped, half-laughing, half-startled. "I meant for you to reach it yourself!"

"I am helping you, aren't I?" Gilbert chuckled, raising an eyebrow in mock innocence.

Sherilyn blinked, a bit taken aback. Was that what she had meant?

"Come on!" Gilbert jostled her slightly, urging her on. "You wanted to see what it is, right?"

"Right," Sherilyn murmured, finally reaching up to grab the glimmering object. With a gentle tug, it came free.

"What is it?" Gilbert asked, steadying her back on the ground and holding her close.

"Here," Sherilyn said, holding it up for him to see. "It's a rose. But..."

She looked puzzled. "It's got a little light tied to it and was hanging from the tree. Why?"

"Beats me," Gilbert shrugged, looking as baffled as she felt.
