Chapter 305: It's Not Your Fault

"You gave us a bit of a scare."

His words are a massive understatement. His eyes tell me just how worried he was.

"I'm sorry," he says after a moment's pause.

I don't have to ask why. I know why. He feels responsible. He blames himself.

"It's not your fault," I tell him seriously.

He smiles but the smile isn't Jarrod's smile. It's not the bone deep smile that is pure Jarrod. It's cool and it doesn't reach his eyes.

"I'm sorry I scared you," I tell him.

He shakes his head before perching on the edge of my bed and leaning down so that he can kiss my forehead.

The touch of his skin on mine, his hand in mine, his lips on my head, is enough to centre me.

You could say that what Jarrod and I have, is love at first sight. I'm not convinced I believe in that sh*t but... I don't know how else you explain the connection we have had ever since that very first time we saw each other.

The sight of him looking down at me intently reminds me exactly how much I love this man.
