It was now Brian's turn to pose a challenge to Rachel.
Brian's gaze was deep, as if it could swallow everything around it, locking opto Rachel's.
"Rachel, how long do you think love really lasts? Do you believeta forever thing?
Rachel flicked her hair back, letting out a small scoff. "How could it be? You're overestimating it. There are so many men out there and plenty of men out them are great.
