Laying in bed so much is making me feel a bit grimy so I decide to take another quick shower. Before I took a nap, we finally put all of my clothes in the closet. And while I love wearing Griffin’s clothes. Being able to wear my clothes again feels good too. While the weather is good, the nights still get chilly. And I still get cold easily since being back home. I decided to wear one of my few long–sleeved, maxi dress with long sleeves. Taking a shawl with me to put on if it gets too chilly.

Again, Griffin tells me how beautiful I look, enforcing his compliment. with another chaste kiss. Everybody is already waiting in the private part of the royal garden, so again I pay it no mind. I do not ask him if he is still attracted to me. We promised each other we would be okay at the end of all of this. I just have to believe in that promise, I just have to be- patient. It’s not like I am healed, so maybe it’s just my mind playing tricks on me again. It could be I am just getting back to the mindset where I doubt everything Griffin does because I am too scared to believe someone so perfect for me could love me the way he does.

“Thanks, Griff you look handsome yourself” Is all I say and I mean it.

others all around us.

Until Rodrick is the first one to broach the subject, we have all been tiptoeing around.

“Are you ready to hear about everything that has happened in your absence?” He asks

I don’t think I am ready and I am not even sure I am ready to tell Griffin what happened when I was in a coma. If I can even call it that, to me, it felt more like a long lucid dream. Ready or not to move on from this, I need to know all that has happened. And so I look at Rodrick and tell

him:

“Yes, I am ready, in fact, I think I need to know all of this”

Rodrick agrees but pushes Griffin to be the first to talk.

And he does, he tells it all how he didn’t believe the letter for a second. Despite the self–doubt about not being good enough for me. That knowing the real me and how much we loved each other kept him believing. He then told me about the video on his website, and how he just like I suspected put as many hints in the video as he could. Expecting David to show it to me. Hoping it would stop him from
