- About the Author
A breath rushes out of me with the speed of a train. I keep staring, just in case. My mind is telling me it’s not Sarah. But maybe it is. After all, when we knew each other, we were only bits and pieces barely strung together. Maybe she wouldn’t recognize me either.
But this woman’s nose, her polite smile, it’s different. Too different to be her.
“Hey.”
Fitz tilts my face softly back to him, and it’s wild that I find relief that he’s still here, still the same. His stare is curious, his tone no longer playful, but maybe that’s because I broke character and threw him off.
Regardless, he doesn’t question me or my odd behavior. I press myself against him, wrapping an arm around the top of his shoulders. He finds my other hand with his and brings it to his chest. And I know it looks the same to the room, but his hold as he welcomes me back into the place my role demands of me—in his arms—feels different.
