Lock You In My Heart

It was too much for Gabrielle to digest. At this point she had no idea what to say. She just stared at Bonnie in silence for a long time.

“Thanks for trusting me, Bonnie. But I’m afraid I’ll just end up disappointing you. I’m not as great as you think I am.” Gabrielle felt so bad that Westley had to go through something like that.

All she wanted to do right now was to rush to his side, and give him a warm hug.

She couldn’t imagine how he managed to soldier on after that experience.

“Gabrielle, I have faith in you. Westley has changed dramatically ever since he married you. If it weren’t for you, he probably still would’ve been wallowing in his guilt. Please, help him out of his own darkness.” Bonnie had high hopes for Gabrielle.

This was the first time that she had seen a sincere smile on Westley’s face in five years. He looked so gentle that Bonnie even doubted if it was real.

And all of it became a reality because of Gabrielle.

At first, Bonnie refused to believe that someone was capable of leading Westley out of the darkness. But after knowing Gabrielle, she had complete faith in her.

“I’ll try my best, Bonnie.” Gabrielle said that not only to Bonnie, but also to herself.

She had done so many things for Bryce in the past, and she had learned many skills.

Thanks to him, she was now capable of doing a lot of things.

And now, she was willing to learn a lot more for Westley’s sake.
