Anything [h.s]

Chapter 36

Trigger Warning - panic attack.

(January 2013)

Everyday I find myself more and more in love with this girl. She has changed my life for the good and I want to marry her. I've been thinking about it for a while now, I've been stressing to my mum about what ring I should get her. I didn't know there were so many options. I know she likes minimalist jewelry, from what I've given her in the past and from what she's hinted to.

She's simple.

I've been stuck between two different types of rings, the first one has three small round diamonds on a silver band and the other one has one square diamond on a gold band. My mum and sister both said they like the square over the round more. The more I look at the two I'm starting to agree with them as well.

I close out of the tabs on my computer just encase and close it shut before walking out onto the back patio to find her.

I found her sitting on the couch in shade in my dress shirt from where we went out to dinner last night.

She looks like an Angel.

I stroke the top of her head getting her to look up, I lean down planting a kiss on her lips before saying, "good morning, pretty girl." She grins as I kiss her once more before sitting behind her.

I put my arm out for her to lean into, "what are you doing?" I asked.

She leans back on to me, "not much, just fiddling." She turned her book over so I couldn't see it.

"Want to go on a walk with me?" I offered.

"Sure, I just need to change." She says before hopping off the couch

These past few months have been amazing, ever since I met her I knew she was the one. Now I just need to come up with how I ask her to be my girlfriend first, then I'll come back to all of this. Let's hope she says yes to being my girlfriend.

Present day.

"Yeah, I know her. She was a bitch, she lived the "dream life" some would call it, I wouldn't say she did but to the others she did." Anna lays the picture of Natalie Cromwell back down.

"If you can— if you're comfortable— can you elaborate "the dream life" for us?" Barlowe asked.

"Oh sure, um, from what I remember of her, she was the cheer captain, she had high honors, she was co-captain of speech and debate. She looked like a responsible person but once she left the school she would be snorting 8-balls like crazy." Anna explains.

Shock wasn't even to cover what just came out of Anna's mouth. I don't know what I was expecting her to say but that definitely wasn't it.

Hart cleared her throat before asking, "you wouldn't happen to know if her and Mr. Whitlock had anything going on?" She hesitated as she spoke of his name.

"I don't know if they ever did anything but I know they were close before me and Matthew started talking. He never talked about past relationships, I learned that very quickly." She answered. I walk over to her, putting my arm around her giving her some comfort.

She seems to be taking this all, semi well, I mean she's doing the best she can. I'm just hoping this doesn't set her back to where she was three days ago. But if that does happen I will be right here for her, I'll try my best to comfort her to the best of my abilities.

"Just one other thing before we leave you alone. We're not jumping to anything just yet this is just a speculation of ours. From the lipstick and the book it's almost like she wants us to know she's working with him. We had something similar to this a few years ago, and when that case ended we found out that the main one was holding something over the other." Hart rambles.
