Only One
Chapter 17
(I should take you home.) Lucas said.
(I don't want to make this bigger than it is.)
(I just had to be honest with you. ) Brooke replied.
(This is a huge deal. I would be able to finish out work for the day. Knowing you were home safe.) Lucas said.
Brooke thought it over looking back at him.
(Let's go.) Brooke replied.
...
(I think I should just stay here. Maybe take next few days off.)
(What do you think.?) Lucas asked.
Once they got home. Brooke focused her gaze on him.
(I don't want anything to change.) Brooke replied.
(You home worrying stressing not sleeping isn't going to help.)
(I'm okay.) Brooke added in.
She cupped her face in her hands. (You are the best decision I've made in my life.)
(And I'm sorry if I ever made you feel as if that wasn't enough.) Brooke proclaimed..
(What do you need. What can I do for you?) Lucas asked.
(Just hold me.) Brooke replied.
Lucas nodded his head in agreement. Wrapping his arms around her.
Brooke settled in to his embrace. His love. Warmth.
And she felt herself begin to cry.
Lucas only held her more securely. Brooke found herself.
Grabbing onto him. Feeling herself finally able to let it all go.
