"Take them with you" Gilbert waved dismissively What? Sherilyn was stunned. Was she even unworthy of offering flowers to Francis, someone she saw as a beloved older brother? "What are you waiting for? Seeing her stand frozen, Gilbert took matters into his hands. He stormed over, grabbed the sunflowers, and thrust them into Sherilyn's arms His words were cold and harsh. "You think he'd appreciate your flowers? if it weren't for you, his child would have been three years old now!" His gaze cut through her like ice. "I don't understand how you have the nerve to show up here!" Suddenly, Caroline tumed away, her shoulders trembling as if she was crying, "Gilbert, please stop! I'm begging you!"

"Hey, girl, why are you walking all by yourself? Hop on, fi take you" Sherilyn frowned at the strong smell of alcohol and cigarettes emanating from the man. "No, thanks." She tried to walk past him, but he blocked her way. "Con, don't be like that!" His gaze lingered on Sherilyn's legs. "I said I'd take you. Con, get on." Jumping off the bike, he grabbed Sherilyn's hand, trying to pull her toward it.

"Let go!" Sherilyn's body tensed, struggling fiercely. "I said let go!" "Stop playing hard to get! Con, I give you a ride!" "Don't touch me!" Summoning all her strength, Sherilyn swung her backpack at the man. "Get away! Leavealone!"

"Trying to hit me?" Furious, the mari swung his arm, knocking Sherilynto the ground. But that wasn't the end of it in the next moment, he was on top of her. Raising his hand, he touched her face.
