Claire’s POV
Something was changing in Gideon’s mind.
After I saw the way he looked at me in the garden, he spoke the words I never expected him to be speaking. You matter to me. Those four words made me feel restless as those words kept repeating in my mind after I walked away.
The way he spoke to me today, I felt like this wasn’t the Gideon I knew. He always spoke with command and authority but in the garden his tone was completely opposite. He never acted like this when I was living here as Claire which made my chest ache.
For the first time he spoke to me so tenderly as he tried to cross the walls I built around my heart.
And the most bitter and worst part is, somewhere in my heart I wanted him to cross those walls..
But that was dangerous. Dangerous for him, for me, for everyone
