CHAPTER 36

EDWINA

I had a date with Kieran today. 

He had been very gentlemanly in his texts, and I saw a change in how he acted towards me whenever our paths came across. 

The desperacy he had begged me with was gone, as well as the urgency. He was distant, polite, and cautious. 

Keiran acted like he was giving me space to come to terms with his presence and his proposal, and I found it hard to stay angry at him.

Since the encounter at the bar, I had resumed work and started to attend the meetings again. 

Relieved at the fact that Kieran promised not to disturb me again if my mind was still made up at the end of the three dates, I felt like I had no reason to run away from him anymore.

So life went back to normal. I didn't know how to explain the whole situation to Harriet, but keeping it from her was not an option.
