"Don't doubt it, I've always loved you. Ever since I saved you the first time, I've been in love with you."
He no longer wanted to hide his feelings. Sometimes, voicing one's love is being honest with oneself, and even more so with that love.
Valentine Teller's heart was racing.
This was an affirmation of all her longing over the past four years.
She loved him too, but didn't have the courage to admit it. She could only silently think of him, miss him, and love him hopelessly.
Tears fell from her eyes.
Landing on the back of his hand, they trickled down one by one.
After a while, Valentine Teller's jelly-like lips managed to squeeze out two words: "Liar."
"I'm not lying to you, why would I lie to you?" Mark Reed wiped the tears from her face, he laughed softly and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? Didn't you realize I've loved you all along?"
"No, I only realized you've bullied me, mistreated me."
Saying this, she covered her face and burst into tears.
