I’m so glad he’s on board. He’s the talk of the town in New York City, and we’re lucky to have him here. Now, he’s going to plan a special private breakfast between Meg and me.

This will be my opportunity to get to know her and to start building up a relationship.

I decide that I better call Mrs. Simmons just to make sure everything is set up in accordance to my plans.

I call her direct line.

“Mrs. Simmons. Hi, it’s Evan. I’d like you to set up a little romantic table in garden number seven. I’m going to surprise Meg with breakfast, so I want everything to be beautiful. Flowers, candles, and that antique teapot my father has hidden away somewhere.”

“Yes, Mr. Reed. I’ll get that done immediately. That’s no trouble at all. Just give me about 15 minutes.”

“Okay, Mrs. Simmons. Thank you very much.”

I have all the pieces in play to surprise Meg. Hopefully, it’ll brighten her day, and hopefully, I’ll get to spend quality time with her, alone.

I take a quick shower and then put on the best early morning casual outfit I can think of. I know how to dress for the country. It’s one of my favorite things to dress for.

Fuck Paul. Fuck the fact that he stole her away from me. Whatever he has with her doesn’t matter because my connection’s gonna be stronger.

That’s what I tell myself as I make my way through the mansion that’s lazily waking up.

I take the side door outside and wander around to the place where Meg was. She’s there, admiring the greenery and the beauty of nature. I sneak up behind her.

She truly looks like an angel, and I’m going to get to spend the morning with her like that, in her see-through nightgown.

I’m so quiet that she doesn’t hear me at all.

I slip my hands around her waist and say, “Good morning.”
