Chapter 53 Marcus’ pov I looked at Maddie she was so beautiful. I couldn’t believe how far we would have gone if Jaylah hadn’t of woken up. I really like Maddie, so I don’t want to rush into anything. I just didn’t want her to think that I am rejecting her. “Hey sorry about.” “Is everything okay?” “Yes, she was just having a bad dream. She’s back to sleep now.” “Ok Marcus about earlier. I think we need to slow it down a bit.” “I agree. I really like you Maddie, and I want to take this slow.” “I’d like that.” I pulled her into me and just held her. I was scared moving on would feel weird, but it didn’t. Being with Maddie felt normal. She was an amazing woman. I was glad she came into my life. She took all the pain and emptiness in my heart away. She won’t take the place of Jaylah
