Chapter 66: An Element of Surprise

Violet slept on Jack’s bedroom that night, and for the first time since their trip to the beach, she finally had a good night of sleep.

And was also the first time that Jack was still by her side when she woke up.

Every time they slept on the same bedroom, he would be gone before she opened her eyes in the morning, since he always had a lot to do.

But now, those gray-green eyes were the first thing she saw when she opened her own.

“Good morning.” he whispered by her side, already fully dressed to start his day.

Violet blinked a few times to make sure she was seeing things clearly.

“Hey…” she whispered back. “You're still here.”

She could feel the smile forming on her lips. It felt so good to have him there, to have him be the first thing she saw before her day started.

It kind of gave her a boost.

He caressed her cheeks and her hair before he answered.
