Yours for centuries

chapter 6. the show must go on

"Universidad Europea De Canarias at the moment," I choked out, suddenly remembering my surroundings, she smiled and nodded, her smile was now beaming with pride. "I'm so proud of you, I'm happy you are enjoying life. Julian always seems to speak about you a lot, and we were all heartbroken for you when your father died. We had all been wondering where you've been these last few years." I shyly hid my face from her view, very taken aback by her loving comments.
