The funeral was very sad I saidpeople I knew The church was packed with friends and fa white balloons, we released them to the heavens where I knew Denise's soul would abide with God for all of eternity

Taking one last look at the gravesite, I turned and almost lost my balance as I came face to face with Drake Peterson There were so h teary eyes, I could see that he was standing tall and more handsome than the last time I saw him It should have been a sin how fine he was His wavy hair was cut close to his scalp Those beautiful hazel eyes of his were still as I remembered He wasand still muscular arms

"Alyssa! I wasn't sure you would be here, but I should never have doubted that you would be I aain, even if it is under such sad circumstances I kno close you and Denise were"

For the first tiood it took everything in me to remember where I was My heart rate increased as all the love I thought was gone forever resurfaced as if it aking froet control over my emotions I had David back in New York and he was safe and dependable Pullinghe didn't see in ood to see you too, Drake," I said in a calm voice

"Wow! You look beautiful You are more beautiful than the last time I saw you, if that's possible"

"Thank you," I said as his eyes devoured et as far away from Drake as possible, because the way I responded to hi to go on over to Weston's place and spend soo back toby there, so I'll definitely see you there," he said "Where are you parked? I'll walk you to your car," he insisted

Leading the way toat my rear, which made me walked faster to the parked car I unlocked the door with my key pad and Drake reached around me and opened the door I slid behind the wheel and was about to thank hihs where et his attention, so he would close the door He closed the door he stepped back He did not try to hide the look of total lust in his eyes
