The Mysterious, Charming Dancer

Part 24

Myles POV

I noticed Briar talking to Logan, and she looks quite upset. I wonder what Logan said to her now. I guess I should go and check on her and make sure she's okay.

"Hey B." I say, and embrace her in a hug.

"Hey Mylo." She says back to me.

"Is everything okay? I saw you talking to Logan just now." I tell her.

"Everything's fine, I guess. It's just that I feel kind of guilty." She admits.

"Why would you feel guilty?" I ask, confused.

"I feel like I took everything away from her. I separated you and Logan, and then I took her home and career away too." She explains, sadly.

"Bri, this isn't your fault. Logan did this to herself." I reassure her.

"Then why do I feel so bad?" She asks, still upset.

"I don't know ... but maybe we should just get out of here and talk about it all." I suggest.

"I'd like that." She says.

We walk down to the beach and take a seat on a rock that sticks out over the water. We stare out at the ocean view for a few minutes in silence. I can tell Briar feels bad for Logan but she should know that this isn't her fault. I just don't know how to get that through to her.

"Briar, this isn't your fault. I know you feel bad for Logan, but there was nothing you could do to stop this from happening. She was a danger to everyone, not just you." I tell her.

"Yeah, but if I had never came to TNS in the first place, none of this would have happened." She explains.

"Just stop ... " I say, looking in her eyes. "I can't even bare the thought of you not being in Toronto."

"Why not?" She asks me, curiously.

"Because ... I have feelings for you Briar. I've got it really bad. I know this isn't great timing but, this is just the way I feel. Please tell me you feel the same way." I say, hopefully.

"I never believed in love at first sight, until I met you." Briar says, taking my hand. "I knew I loved you from the moment I met you. The truth is, I couldn't stop loving you now no matter how hard I tried. I love you." 

"I love you too." I say, and kiss her passionately.

We kiss for what feels like forever. I never want to let her go. We will be together forever ... I just know it.
