Our clients shrugged off what went down. They were happy for us. Most of them knew about our feud, so it wasn’t much of a blow to them. Sometime during the party, it was evening, and Hazel disappeared. I knew my girl. She needed a moment to herself to process the events.
I shut the door behind me, leaning against it.
She didn’t turn, knowing it was me.
Instead, she announced, “We’re back to where it all began between us.”
“Sugar, we started way before that night.”
“I know, but this is where it ended for us.”
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
“I know.”
“Are you alright?”
“I think so.”
“You sure?”
“I’m not sad, Ledger. I’m just disappointed they showed up here and ruined your company’s party.”
“Our clients who are here have been with us for years. You have nothing to worry about.”
“Okay.”
“I’m sorry—”
“Don’t apologize for them. They should be ashamed of themselves.”
“I’m here for you. Just know that.”
“Now that I know.”
Our connection felt stronger than ever. She looked my way, catching me leaning up against the door with my arms crossed over my chest and my head cocked to the side, taking her in as she glistened from the sunset.
“You should go back to the party.”
I arched an eyebrow, grinning. “I have a better idea.”
She narrowed her eyes at me, picking up on the slight edge in my tone.
“Oh yeah?” she breathed out, her voice shaky and unsure. “What’s that?”
I locked the door before heading toward her and reaching her in four long strides. Her back hit the adjacent wall behind her, and I hovered over her small frame, locking her in with my arms on the sides of her face.
Leaning forward, I coaxed, “I want to make love to my fiancée.”
She smirked. “There’s a party outside.”
“Didn’t stop you last time.”
“Ledger…”
“I want to make things right.”
“You did. I love you.”
