I miss those days. We haven’t done much with those communities since Harper left.
“I would love to do it again,” she breathes. She wraps her arms around me, and I hold her close.
She’s accepting me all over again, and I love her even more for it.
“You have my whole fucking heart,” I whisper to her.
She grins and squeezes my hand. “Show me more of your drawings.”
Wilson stays with us, perched on the desk, as we go through my sketchbooks.
It’s the closest I’ve felt to peace in a long time.

HARPER
They’re sharing moreof me with them, and it makes my heart ache.
Now that I’m back, and the truth is out, I want to know more.
I want to knoweverything.
James’s confession broke my heart, but I stayed in his lap as we went through his different art books.
I wish I could remember my time with the foster children, but for now, I have to relive it through James and Beau’s stories.
There’s one person I haven’t spent time with yet.
He’s made himself scarce in the day since I’ve been back, but I can sense his scent lingering in my room.
His guilt is still consuming him.
I plan to rectify that.
I wake up the next morning and wince as a cramp pummels my stomach.
Shit.
I want to talk to Grey before I lose myself and demand he take me.
I need to show him what’s in my heart before my inner Omega takes over and I’m a writhing, horny mess.
So I slip on a dark grey cotton dress and set out to find Grey.
It’s the weekend, so he’s not teaching.
I follow the smell of bacon and am delighted to see that he’s at the dining table with more than just a cup of coffee in his hand.
The last time it was just him and me here, he was guarded and cold.
Now, the corner of his lip quirks up, and he eyes me as he sips from his mug.
“Are you avoiding me?” I ask as I take the seat across from him.
“What makes you think that?”
His face tells me I’m correct.
