Chapter 65: Shadows Of The Past

The air was thick with tension as Aurora sat in Logan Mason's private office, her gaze fixed on the city skyline through the large glass windows. The glittering lights below created a breathtaking contrast against the inky darkness of the night, but Aurora barely noticed.

Logan leaned against his desk, his arms crossed as he studied her. It had been a week since she had taken the job as his personal bodyguard, and despite his best efforts to keep things professional, there was an undeniable shift in the air between them.

"You seem distracted," Logan finally spoke, breaking the silence.

Aurora blinked, turning her attention to him. "Just thinking."

"About what?"
