Chapter 16

Tears streamed down Nova's face as she covered it with her hands. Choking up, she replied, "Yes." Flynn's eyes lit up with disbelief. For a moment, it all felt too surreal. Was Nova really his girlfriend now? When the realization finally sank in, joy rushed through him like a wave. He couldn't help but pull her tightly into his arms. Then he whispered in her ear, "I'll treat you right for the rest of my life." … However, Ewan wasn't ready to give up. After everything he had done to Nova, a little rejection meant nothing to him. He returned to Berning, took a month off, and once again boarded a plane to head straight for Feshral Village. When he finally arrived, what he saw froze him where he stood. In a quiet, remote corner against a wall, Flynn had Nova pinned gently to him with one hand on the wall. The scene was intimate. Just as Ewan widened his eyes, Flynn leaned down and kissed her. It was passionate and possessive. To his surprise, Nova kissed him back just as fiercely.
