CHAPTER 17

EDWINA

Orion picked me up from work. He sent a text to let me know he was in the company garage and a smile bloomed on my face as soon as I saw him. 

It has been a while, and seeing him waiting for me in the garage made me realize how much I missed him. 

"Hello, Gorgeous," he greeted as I walked into the car, his eyes alight with what seemed to be happiness.

Orion was happy to see me again. Maybe Harriet was right. Maybe I would be happy with Orion if I let myself open up to him.

"Hello, handsome," I greeted back. 

"You look exhausted. Long day?" he asked as he started to drive. 

I sighed.

"You have no idea. I miss New York so much," I said, resting my head on the head rest. 

"Well, I'm sorry about that. But you'll get used to it very soon. Trust me," he said softly as he glanced at me. 

His eyes met mine, and I saw something that almost made my heart lurch painfully.
