Chapter 146.

Emily POV

"Huh?"

"For a moment you were disconnected from the conversation. Did you hear what I said?" he asks holding me by the waist. I stare into his face and nodded even though the reality was otherwise.

While I was living this glorious moment full of romance and magic, I was also thinking about the military plan I was about to execute.

The military plan would perhaps destroy this whole reverie.

"I'm happy to be here, with you" I murmur hugging myself even more to him. Dedicating myself for the first time in a long while already to slowly inhale the scent of his perfume, the smell of his skin feeling fear of not perceiving him like this again after his journey.

I devote myself to analyzing him just as I had done that first time at the party in his apartment, where he had thrown his body on top of mine on the couch to avoid Oliver's awkward questions.
