CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE

Damien stares at me as if he can’t quite believe what I’m saying.

This is hard for me as well. Acknowledging that I actually fell for Damien, another man, just barely a year after losing James. Despite knowing everything, a small part of me feels guilty. And yet, being around Damien, his touch, all of it, it feels so right, in a way that it never felt with James. And it’s time I admit that to myself.

The silence between me and Damien is long and filled with unasked questions and doubts.

“You sound so sure,” he finally murmurs, and there’s no sign of the sharp-tongued man I’m so accustomed to, right now.
