Alexander:
Serena didn’t say a word, and for the first time since she had walked into my room, she had absolutely nothing to say, and I found myself watching her carefully as she stood in front of me.
Her eyes were fixed on mine, but the anger that had been burning in them only seconds ago had changed into something else. Shock, disbelief, and perhaps the realization that I had meant every word I had just said.
I had chosen her, and I knew that it was something that she didn’t expect… what Helena didn’t realize by sending in the other women is that it was my choice not to want them… but with her, things were going to be different.
Her lips parted once as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out. She simply stepped back, putting distance between us, and I allowed her to.
