Chapter 98

　　Maya

　　My breath catches in my throat, and I'm half-convinced that I'm hallucinating because of the alcohol I've consumed.

　　Finn.

　　I take him in and take a step back, gripping the faucet.

　　He is slightly taller, and he has filled out with broader shoulders, and his face is an inkling more chiseled, but otherwise, he is still unchanged, younger than me. I swallow hard at that revelation with the taste of bitterness accumulating in my mouth.

　　I've never been ashamed of my appearance, but right now, I'm worried about Mr. Adonis not finding me attractive since I'm older than him. He looks so young, still in his later twenties at most.

　　"Finn..."

　　The fairy lifts his eyes to mine, and I'm almost knocked unconscious. I've heard about second-chance mates, but I thought it was a rumor—I was wrong. The mate-bond kicks to life, and although Finn's lips curve into a crooked, recognizing smile, I want to flee.
