It all began after that evening on Valentine's Day. Though Kenneth would have to admit that he'd always been enamored with Cerie, after their talk that night, she would not escape his thoughts. After he confirmed Cerie had no feelings for him, he never once believed that she would think of him as anything more than a friend. She needed someone better than him who could buy her diamonds to reflect how much she shines, inside and out.
He could honestly say that he'd be happy just to see her beautiful face each day as she passed in the hall.
