Ever since he confessed his feelings, Soren hadn't bothered to hide them anymore. He texted and called me

whenever he had a spare moment.

When | was at the car repair shop after my car was fixed, | called Soren. Since his driver had helpedget it to

“Glad to hear it. The mechanics gave your car a full treatment, didn’t they? So it should hold up just fine for the
