Madeline stared at Gabriel for several long seconds, completely stunned. Had he really just said what she thought he had? “Uh. What?” Gabriel flushed, looking more flustered than ever. “I-I mean, I’m t-taking a trip to Giza to do some research and I was wondering if you wanted to come?” She continued to stare, her mind trying and failing to process his words. It was their first date, how could he ask her something like that? “No!” she blurted and then immediately regretted it when he hung his head, his face burning scarlet. “Gabriel…” she began placatingly. She felt awful for hurting his feelings. Madeline liked what she knew of him but it was too soon to ask her to do that. This was only their first date after all. “I’m sorry,” she continued. “But I have to work and—” Gabriel held up a hand to cut her off. “It-it’s okay. I got carried away. Just forget I said anything, okay?” Madeline scuffed her shoe against the sidewalk. She felt awful. Gabriel was sweet, funny, smart, and definitely cute. But she still felt wary. Experience had taught her not to trust easily. People always hurt or left. “Come on,” she said impulsively, grabbing Gabriel’s hand. She didn’t want the date to end this way. “I want to show you something.” Gabriel chuckled, following willingly behind her as she led him down a side street. “So, where are we going?” he finally asked, his grey eyes curious and interested behind his glasses. “Well, do you like music?” Madeline asked, taking a right turn.

Tilting his chin upwards, Tom peered up seductively through his long, thick lashes. “So, does that mean you wanna fool around?” he asked in a soft, lilting voice.
“YOU BASTARD!” he screamed, his face contorting into a twisted mask of anger. “HOW COULD YOU FORCE YOURSELF ON ME AFTER WHAT HAPPENED? I WAS RAPED, YOU MOTHERFUCKER! I WAS FUCKING RAPED!”
“Yeah, I don’t mind. I don’t quite know where I’m heading next.” Raegan said in a calm tone.
“Shh.” Megan placed a finger over Addison’s lips and whispered, “Don’t analyze it and don’t think about it, just go with it. Do whatever comes natural and I’ll take care of everything else. Tonight is all about you.”
She wrapped her fingers around his wrist to stop him. An image flashed of her face, upper lip bloody, color returning to her skin. “I thought you were dead. I saw you get shot.”
“Weslyn, you’re going right?” She asked while trying to hold in her giddiness long enough to hold a conversation.
“Huh?” Pearl blinked, seemingly at a loss of words, curious yet terrified of what Rose’s words to follow such an ambiguous statement will be.
“Wait,” I turned around and he lowered his voice. “Be careful. I love you.” That was the last time I ever talked to him.
"It�s really bad, you know, to forget given promise," she asked, motherly tone dripping from her voice.
Her heart once again sped faster, "I don't know where to begin." she admitted as Razio said she could ask all she wanted. "I have countless questions, but it's like my mind is fuzzy. Maybe its the champagne," she smiled softly and looked back up into his eyes, "Can you feel my touch?" she asked as her fingers slowly traced the line of his
