Valerie's P.O.V.
A couple weeks had passed since the fight with my mother. I saw Peter around, and would abruptly turn the corner when he came.
"So, I heard you and the Peter boy decided not to marry." My mother said.
My voice barely stayed even, "Yep."
"Well that's great. You don't need a boy who causes trouble like that, Valerie. You need a young man who will give you a bright future. Now a man like Henry…"
I stated to zone out, which unfortunately didn't go unnoticed by my mother. Her face softened, "Oh Valerie I know it hurts, but it will get better. Now why don't you go get some more water?"
I went to go get water in such a daze; I didn't even notice the sun went down. Suddenly, I heard some rustling and turned around.
Nothing. Huh.
An arm came out and pulled me behind a building. I looked up into the face of the man I loved. Who evidently seemed not to want to marry me.
"What do you want Peter?"
"I want to be with you."
