Chapter 263: How Things Should Have Always Been

This is how things should have always been.

Starting the morning with some freshly-cooked breakfast, spending time together without worrying about anything else, getting kisses and cuddles whenever they want to – a perfectly normal life with Cassidy. Since what seems like forever, Adrian has hoped to be with her like this.

"I don't need food to survive…" he whispered in her ear as he cornered her against the kitchen sink, getting closer and closer until they were only inches apart. 

"The only thing I need is you. You're the one and only reason I'm breathing right now. You are the reason why I'm motivated to become a better person. I want to spend the rest of my days with you. I want to grow old with you, Cassidy."

"A-Adrian…" she stammered out, blushing fiercely, and tried to look away, but he held her chin firmly, his half-lidded eyes locked in her wide ones.
