Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Wesley turned her down.

“I need to go visit Chief Balthasar this afternoon. How about this? I’ll drop you off at the mall.”

Garnet Lowered her head in frustration and murmured, “Wesley, it’s the

New Year. Honestly! Is work all you can think about? You haven’t been back for two years. And I don’t know when I’ll be free next time. It might take another two years for a chance like this. Maybe longer. So stay. Just for today. Please?”

This time, Wesley wasn’t slow. He vaguely realized that Garnet had feelings for him. He shook his head vigorously and said, “Before you leave for work, I’ll see you off.”

“Fine! Then drive me home now. I don’t want to go shopping alone.”

Garnet was really disappointed.

After making sure Garnet was safely home, Wesley went to deal with his own matters.

It took him a few hours to get everything squared away. 5 o’clock came and went, but Blair still hadn’t called.

He was rather confused, so he opened the WeChat app to send her a message. Funny-it showed a five-minute video chat in his chat log from earlier this morning. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

‘What was going on? What was I doing then?‘ Wesley furrowed his eyebrows deeply.

‘I was planting flowers with Grandpa, and I left my phone in the living room. I wasn’t around to answer Blair’s video call.

So who answered it? Mom? Dad? No, they were off visiting friends.

Couldn’t be Niles. He was at a friend’s wedding. So that leaves

Grandpa, Garnet and me.

So… It had to be Garnet.*

With that thought, Wesley planned to call Blair. But before he could do anything, his phone rang.

“Hi Grandpa, what’s up?”

“Blair’s not coming tomorrow. Do you know what happened?” Keith asked

“What?” Wesley was puzzled.

“Her grandpa just called and said Blair wasn’t feeling well. She’ll be here by the fifth.” ‘Wesley’s leaving on the fifth. I really want to see him and Blair together, ‘ Keith thought.

“She knows that I’m flying back to Alorith on the fifth, but she chooses to fly over then. Is she trying to avoid me? But why?’ Wesley thought to himself.

“I’LL ask her.” After he said that, he hung up and called Blair.

To his disappointment, Blair didn’t answer his call, nor did she reply to his text.

Left with no choice, Wesley called Garnet. He wanted to figure out what exactly had happened.
