"I really don't want to be apart from you..."
Leona Grant meant it. He really, really didn't want to be away from Annabelle Linton.
The thought of her leaving, of her going to be with another man—especially some "senior" she was close with—made him unbearably tense.
One Aaron Wyatt... was already a big enough shadow looming over him.
To be honest... he was still very insecure.
Deeply insecure.
He always felt that if someone just like him was standing right next to him, and Annabelle Linton had to choose, she... definitely wouldn't choose him.
...Even though Annabelle Linton had already explained that she wouldn't leave him and told him not to overthink things, he was still inexplicably insecure.
What Leona Grant didn't realize was that the first instinct when you love someone that deeply is to wonder what you did wrong... even if all they did was slam a door.
His feelings for Annabelle Linton had seeped into the marrow of his bones, touching every nerve.
