Leona Grant was finally a little more satisfied. He lowered his head and gave her another deep kiss.
Leona Grant didn't let go until Annabelle Linton was limp in his arms.
He gazed at her intently, as if trying to permanently etch her image into his eyes. His stare made Annabelle feel uneasy.
Finally, he pressed his lips together and said, "Don't forget to call me, and keep your phone on. I need to be able to reach you anytime, anywhere. Otherwise, I'll rush to Serenvale to find you immediately."
Annabelle let out a small laugh. "I know."
"Remember to love me."
"Mm."
"Remember to miss me."
"Mm."
"Remember to call me."
"Mm."
Leona Grant gazed at her deeply again, not knowing what else to say. Finally, he pulled her into a tight embrace and whispered in her ear, "Annabelle Linton, I love you."
