As he looked down at her Jessica gave him a faints mile her paleface showing a touch of vulnerability Stanley I m fine Don t worry so much about me
Stanleywas sotense,andthoughshehadexpectedit,awaveofsweetness washedoverherheart.
Why did you throw yourself down the stairs he suddenly asked his voice serious
Jessica froze for a moment but quickly composed herself She knew she couldn t deceive him and she didn t want
Stanley don t you feel like you ve been ignoring me lately I can t feel your love anymore I feel insecure she admitted her voice soft and almost pleading
Stanley knew she was right He had distanced himself from her ever since she made that move on Glinda She didn t feel like the same girl anymore she wasn t the innocent girl he had once known in that cave
And in the time he d spent with Wendy Stanley found himself drawn to her in away he couldn t explain He didn t know what kind of magic Wendy had but his attention was always drawn to her
That stormy night at the small inn he and Wendy had shared an intimate moment
So now seeing Jessica looking so pitiful Stanley couldn the lp but feel guilty

When she mentioned that cave Stanley s heart softened instantly How could he stay mad at her
Stanley pulled her into his arms Don t say things like that I ll never leave you
That was his promise He wouldn t leave Jessica
When a man like him made a promise he would keep it for life
Jessica slips curved into a knowing smile She could tells he had broken through his defenses He would spoil her again just like he used to
A sense of pride bloomed within her Rolling down the stairs today had been worth it
