Chapter 4
His fingers were in my hair and I was lost in his kiss. His lips were warm and welcoming and once again I felt the security in his arms. But when we parted I slowly opened my eyes. His cheeks were pink and his smile was big.
"Why do you look at me like this?" I asked.
"You've got the stars in your eyes." Gustave whispered touching my cheek.
He was so kind, so sweet… this can't go on. I must end leave; I'll ruin him if I do not.
"Return to the castle with me." He whispered.
"Gustave, there are things I can not forgive myself for. Things that everyday I lust live with knowing that I did them. Please, understand that I wish I could take back everything I've done. Form hurting you and Danielle and Henry and Jacqueline to being placed on this earth." I held his hands tighter hoping he understands.
"I do not feel as if you've wronged me Marguerite."
"Why do you not hate me?"
"Because you've changed. You are no longer stuck up, obnoxious and self centered. You Marguerite are now kind and understand how you have wronged others. Marguerite I—" But I cut him off before he could say anything making me want to stay.
"I must leave." I said quickly.
"Leave? No. Just stay a week and if you change your mind you can leave. Or if you like you can stay forever. I promise." Gustave raised my hand and kissed my knuckles.
"All right?" How could I give into his begging?
"All right." I agreed.
