28. Brava Ragazza

The next day, Ella walked into the company feeling more confident than she had ever felt.

The day off had been more than useful, and apparently exactly what she needed. She felt like she should thank Kaiden for it, no, she knew she should thank him for it. However, the decision she’d come to would be more than enough to show her appreciation.

She loved Alex. A decision like this would definitely not be one that she would have come to on her own, because, yes, she was a coward and refused to admit her feelings all the time, or even act on them. She had always denied it, claiming to be brave, but everyone who knew her well, knew she wasn’t.

Today, however, was different. And the confidence surging in her at that moment, would make it possible.

“Ms. Hart, good morning.” She smiled at Steven, the security man, a fifty-year-old sweetheart whom never felt to greet her with his brightest smile, and today wasn’t any different. “You look radiant, ma’am.”
