In the photo , Greg sat by a bed , reading a magazine and telling Ayleen stories . His face looked very gentle , a way Id never seen . Greg usually acted caring towards me , but this photo made me realize the difference between love and no love had been clear . Ayleen messaged me . Everly , what should I do ? Greg seems to really like me . I was tired , turned off my phone , and just wanted to sleep . Everly , just chill about this whole thing with Greg , okay ? I muttered to myself . I hadnt been in bed long when someone woke me . I was banged up and hadnt gotten any decent rest , so my whole body was throbbing with pain . Greg asked , Everly , Aylas hoping to see you . Think we should drop by and visit her today ? Greg still wore yesterdays clothes , with dark circles under his eyes . He must have stayed up all night with Ayleen . Noticing I stayed silent , Greg went on , I understand you cant stand Ayla . Its fine , Everly . When you become my wife , you wont have to see anyone you dislike . Trust me , before we get married , you wont have to see her much . Greg looked at me gently , as if he cared about my feelings . It made me want to give him an award for Best Actor . Greg had not been marrying me to protect me . He had been doing it to protect Ayleen . But Greg had been right about one thing . Ayleen and I wouldnt have seen much of each other .
