"And then there is Gary. This whole self-realization made me be more aware of those who had always care for me."
Kris refilled Lena's glass for her. "Do you like him?" He was finally able to ask the question that was somehow itching in the back of his brain the last few days.
"Of course!" Kris' heart stopped beating again. "He's my bestest friend! He will be my best man when I get married."
Kris' heart started pumping blood again. Lena has been giving him heart attack all day! Kris needs to ask Tye for some heart medicine.
"And then Hazel can be my bridesmaid. And don't tell me I cannot have a best man and bridesmaid. I am the bride so I can have whatever I want!"
Kris laughed at her comment. Lena started humming and sipping from her glass again. Kris looked at his glass but did not drink from it.
"I was a sick child." Kris finally spoke and Lena stopped humming. She looked at him. This was the first time he was saying something personal about himself.
