Chapter 25 Rings And Things

Ethan's POV

I didn't wait until the auction was completely over. I left half way through because I was worried about my Emma. When I got home, she was already asleep. I kissed her forehead and laid besides her.

She stirred. "Mr. Hollen?"

"Baby, shh. Go back to sleep." I told her as I rubbed her back slowly.

She laid on the pillow and went back to sleep instantly.?

I stayed with her a little longer then went to my room, planning how I would spend my time with her in the morning.

She rested her head on my shoulder as we looked out at the horizon. She looked so calm. I was happy she was asking me questions and showing emotions without me having to force it out of her. I wanted her to be comfortable with me and not afraid of me.

"What are your goals in life, Emma?"
