And it ended up being the best ride I’d ever had.
EPILOGUE
Ash
SEB MET ME in The Billionaires Club London and we sat down for a drink. It wasn’t easy to apologise for being a complete bastard for twelve years, but I managed it.
I’d been practising with a certain ex-chauffeur, after all, and it turned out that she was right. It wasn’t too late. And sometimes when you’d burned a bridge, you could, if you were willing, find a way to rebuild it.
Seb and I talked long into the night and at the end, we shook hands. The bridge might have been built, but it was still a bit shaky and required some careful walking.
I stepped back out into the street, ready to get a cab home, only to find a long black car waiting at the kerb.
I smiled, my heart already starting to accelerate.
Without hesitation, I strode to the limo and got in, settling myself in my seat. Then I looked at the rear-view mirror to see a beautiful pair of hazel eyes staring at me from underneath the brim of a chauffeur’s cap.
She’d promised me a surprise tonight; clearly this was it.
It was almost a month we’d been together and my breath still caught whenever I saw her, the sense of wonder that she was mine filling me like sunlight.
Her prototype was nearly finished and soon, with luck, we’d be showing it off at the next club event in Monaco, along with the Pythons.
I knew nothing about cars, but I knew hers was fantastic.
As beautiful and as visionary as she was.
‘Where to, Mr Evans?’ she asked in her gorgeous husky voice, a thread of amusement running through it.
I held her gaze. ‘You choose, Miss Little.’
She smiled, the gold in her eyes beginning to glitter. ‘How about to heaven and back?’
‘That sounds perfect,’ I said.
But she didn’t need to take me to heaven.
With her, I was already there.
