Do You Love Him?

Richie and Sarah threw themselves into the final stages of their home renovations, their excitement growing as the farmhouse began to take on the character and charm they had always envisioned. They painted walls, laid new floors, and planted flowers in the garden, each task bringing them closer to their dream.

But even as they worked together, a shadow hung over Sarah. She tried to focus on Richie and their future, but thoughts of Mark continued to intrude. She found herself thinking about him at odd moments, her mind drifting back to their conversations, the intensity of his gaze, the way his touch had made her feel alive.

As the weeks went on, Mark's presence became a constant, both physically and emotionally. He continued to help with the renovations, his easy charm and helpful nature making him an invaluable part of their lives. But every time Sarah saw him, she felt a pull, a magnetic attraction that left her breathless and confused.
