My heart started racing.
Was he...
Was he confessing to me?
I looked at his handsome face, at the sincerity in his eyes, and my resolve wavered.
But the moment I thought about how he might react after regaining his memory, I pulled back again.
“But... what if you get your memory back and regret it?” I whispered.
Austinn took my hand and looked at me seriously.
“I won’t regret it. Even if I recover my memories one day, I’ll still remember how I feel right now. I’ll remember my decision to be with you. Demi, trust me, okay?”
Austinn pulled me into his arms and gently stroked my back.
“We’re going to be happy.”
Leaning against him, feeling the warmth of his embrace and breathing in his faint pine scent, I finally let down all my defenses.
Maybe...
Maybe I could try trusting him ju
