KAYDEN's POV I looked down at Valerie who lay on my bed, sleeping peacefully. She still looked beautiful, even in her sleep. Looking at her made a smile curl up my lips. She was finally mine again. A few hours ago Valerie was in my arms, crying. It hurt me to see her in tears but at the same time I was glad that she had reached out and hugged me first. She had cried for a bit and apologized to me, saying how sorry she was for breaking up with me. I listened quietly as she told me how much she had missed me and how she could not get me out of her mind no matter how much she had tried. My mind bloomed with bliss. I was glad that she had felt the same way I did. All this time, I had the narrative in my head that Valerie hated me. I held unto her tightly as she cried, until she fell asleep
