words.
“Aldrich, are you in love with me?”

“Yes. From the first time I laid eyes on you, I was captivated. It pained me to see you had eyes only for
him. Selina, he’s not yours anymore. Forget about him. Be with me.”

and only him. Step aside!”

“Why can’t you just Let him go? Didn’t he outright reject you?”
“That’s for me to worry about. Release me, Aldrich,” Selina demanded, squirming to Loosen his hold.

Her eyes sparkled with new hope. “You can actually help her?”
Wrapping an arm around her, Aldrich ran his fingers through her hair.
