What is the meaning of all this? How will Bradley put me in fix with a rose flower? I guess she should just know I am not in the mood for his lovey attitude. It will save him a lot if he gets to know much earlier before it becomes so late.
So if I won't take the rose flower from him now, automatically it means I don't love him or have forgiven him. Anyway, I am wise them him now so I will take the rose flower from him and he will never know I hadn't forgiven him.
I gaze at his hand holding the rose flower. I notice he was losing strength in the arm and it is trembling. I didn't feel any pity for him that he has been holding it for 1hr. That should be the beginning of his punishment but this very one is salient and that is if he can notice it. I knew I just had

Bradley's POV All my effort was worth it. Just seeing that bright smile on Valerie's pretty face made my day. Me being the reason behind the smile gave me more satisfaction. While I was planning on what to do to get Valerie back to me and the thought of having dinner came to me. I tried to shrug it off because I had never been in the kitchen or boiled a kettle of water before and I don't know how to do it even.

Grayson's POVI went to Dr. Charlie Troshinsky, a respected psychiatrist whom I had seen when I was fifteen after my high-school girlfriend had died suddenly. He was shocked at how thin I was. I was just under five feet five, but my weight had dropped to a hundred pounds. Dr. Troshinsky said that he had seen several people with the same constellation of symptoms, all referred by physicians who dismissed them as mentally ill. He wrote my internist a letter stating that he would stake his reputation on his conclusion that I was mentally healthy but suffering from a serious physical illness.“Find another psychiatrist,” my internist said over the phone, a smile in his voice. How did he explain the fevers, chills, exhaustion, swollen lymph nodes, dizziness? What I was going through, he suggested, was puberty. I ha
