Chapter 509: Mark

As Gideon opened his eyes, the very first image he saw was Vera's. She was close enough now, and a soft smile was gracing her beautiful face. She was smiling at him, her eyes so alive, and so full of hope. And his mind, heart, and soul were just fully captivated by her again. Right then, her light seemed to have reached through every nook of him, leaving no room for any dark thoughts. 

Her smile was so beautiful it shook his heart into a frenzy. This woman is just too amazing… and the power she had over him. She could reduce him senseless with just one smile. 

The song ended and Vera and Gideon stood right outside the circle. Their eyes never leaving the other.
