CHAPTER 53: Uncertain Paths

  Hannah POV

  After our conversation, I promised Aubrey that I would seriously consider what she had said.

  The idea of starting something new with Christian was both thrilling and terrifying. My thoughts were a tangled mess of what-ifs, fears, and flickers of hope.

  Aubrey's encouragement gave me a nudge, but I knew that the decision was ultimately mine to make.

  The holiday ended sooner than I expected, and before I knew it, we were back in the office, diving headfirst into work. The familiar routine was almost comforting, offering a distraction from the turmoil in my heart.

  Yet, despite my best efforts, Christian's confession lingered in the back of my mind, surfacing at the most unexpected moments. And now when I was thinking about it, I felt as if I wanted to give a reply to Christian.
