Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"What's going on?"

Gilbert hadn't gone far when he heard the commotion and immediately turned around.

She was staring intently at what she held in her hand. This time, it wasn't a bouquet of roses.

It was a velvet box.

Judging by its size, it wasn't hard to guess what might be inside.

Gilbert quickly retraced his steps, his eyes immediately catching sight of the velvet box in her hands.

A grin spread across his face. "You found it?"

He knew he'd left it somewhere around here.

Holding his breath, he looked at Sherilyn with a mix of nerves and anticipation. "Want to open it?"

"Uh-huh..."

Sherilyn passed the bouquet of roses to him, then carefully took the velvet box in both hands and slowly opened it.
