CHAPTER 41

EDWINA

I didn't know how to feel about Orion's breakup with me. 

His actions left a hollow pit in my stomach, and I felt very very bad. Guilt was permanently logded in my stomach, and I found it very hard to eat.

Or do anything else, in fact.

When the maelstrom of emotions became too much for me to bear, I called the only person that could help me.

Harriet picked my call on the first ring.

"Hello, love," she said sweetly. Her voice brought a sting of tears to my eyes, and I blinked them away rapidly.

"Hi. Can you…are you busy?" I asked, my voice trembling as I tried very hard not to let my barely held composure crack. 

"What's wrong? Are you okay, love?" she asked, worry filling her voice as she immediately caught on the fact that something was wrong with me. 

"I just…can I come and see you?" I asked again.

"Of course. I'm at the office. Can you make the journey or should I?" she asked.
