A Graduation Gift
Chapter 197 Name In The Envelope
Rufus held Cassandra in his arms as they slowly danced to the music that had long stopped in the garden.
Cassandra didn't want anyone to see them so she tried to wriggle herself free but Rufus wouldn't budge.
"Why? Don't you want me to hold you?"
Rufus raised his eyebrows. He didn't want to let her go because having her in his arms was the best feeling in the world.
"No, I just don't want anyone to see us like this,"
Cassandra said in a low voice with a hint of shyness—something Rufus immediately picked up on as the look on his face softened.
This wasn't news to Rufus—he knew exactly what Cassandra was worried about. She was worried about what people might think of her if they found out that she was seeing Rufus, Lionel's big brother, just days after divorcing Lionel. And Rufus knew all about this from the very start.
Nothing could stand in the way of their love because for Rufus, all that mattered was that he was with her.
Cassandra loved him dearly but she was careful for fear that she might lose him.
How Cassandra wished she could spend every waking moment with Rufus but she had to hold herself back. Even when she'd miss him, she would just send a sly text message to him because she didn't want to disturb him.
She did love him but she was treading on thin ice; she was so careful to not say too much or do too much. This only made Rufus's heart ache.
He took the diamond ring with him everywhere he went. That night, the moon looked especially beautiful. Rufus, as he took in this fine weather and fine music, ran a palm over his pocket as he tried to take the ring out to surprise her.
He wanted to tell her that nothing else mattered—not the people that talked about them or what not—as long as they were together. If they were together, they could surpass anything.
"Cassandra, I want to tell you something,"
Rufus said, clearing his throat and looking at Cassandra softly.
"Yes? What is it?"
Cassandra avoided his gaze.
The repulsive odor of the nearby made people feel dizzy. The sound of those insects buzzing from the hall filled the air.
It was like they were the only two people in the world. To Rufus and Cassandra, no one else was around and it was just the two of them. Cassandra could feel her heart beat quickening in her chest.
