Shit. Sorry. I was working. I’m coming right out.
I run around the storage, picking my stuff, pushing it all into my pockets. Calling out for my coworkers, I realize I’m all alone. They all left.When?At least everything is locked.
I twist the key in the lock of our back entrance and run to Ronan’s car. I smash my ass into the seat and slam the door. She is right there, engulfing me in her soft arms, running fingers through my hair, kissing me.
This is what it feels like to fully live.
This. Having someone to crave you.
Having someone to hold you as soon as they see you.
She separates our lips and looks deep into my eyes. Recognition hits all of my senses. My eyes speak to hers. They know what’s inside.
“I missed you,” she says. “Why did you do all of that? I didn’t know what to say, Noah. No one’s ever done something like that for me.”
“Did you like it?”
“I loved it.” She kisses me once more, holding my cheek in her silky palm. Her eyes look so happy, they are glossy all over, her pupils so black and so big.
That’s why I did it. For this exact moment. For this exact look.
“Then that’s all that matters.”
Toma meows loudly from her carrier, as if she is agreeing with me.
“Let’s go home,” she says, putting the car in drive.
Her hand finds my thigh and she leaves it there, holding me tightly. Is this how the girls in the movies feel when their men hold their thighs whilst driving? There is something bubbly in my chest, and the warmth is spreading through my whole body. It almost makes me forget about my talk with Jensen. Almost.

“What’s wrong?” Ronan asks, locking the door behind her, “You seem really tense.”
I tried my best to mask how I was feeling, and I even started relaxing next to her at some point, but obviously, that was a fail.
“It’s mom’s birthday pretty soon, I always feel a bit down when it’s near. It’s a hard and painful day for our whole family.”
“No, it’s not that,” she says. Her fingers slide gently over my forehead, sending shivers down my spine, tracing a certain line. “It’s not that. You have this huge crease here, like there’s this whole universe sitting on your shoulders, and you are struggling to hold it up.”
She looks deep into my eyes, worry coating her gorgeous face. I love the way she cares for me. I can always see it on her face.
“Yeah, okay. You caught me. How about we sit down first?”
“Wow. It’s that bad?”
“I would say it’s concerning. And weird.” I shrug my shoulders and shake my head. “Scary maybe?”
She murmurs into her chin, throws a fluffy pillow down to the floor and plops herself on it. Toma rushes into her lap, purring loudly.
I grab a bottle of water and join my girls. How do I even start this?
Hey Ronan, your mother is threatening my family.NO.
Uhm, your pedo mom texted my brother.NO.
