It had been a peaceful day for Asher after Lily moved out of his home. The strange feeling from watching her leave in the new doctor's car vanished the minute he turned to walk in. Without hesitation, he delved into his work. After a long online business meeting that lasted several hours, he got up, shut his laptop and made his way out of the dining area. He headed straight for the stairs when he caught sight of Lily's old room.

Gesturing for one of the maids lurking around to follow him, he changed the course of his movements, heading in the room's direction. When the door opened, his nostrils were instantly attacked by the sweet scent of rose petals. His brain told him it was how she smelt. He smelt it when he picked her up after she tripped on the staircase. He smelt it again when he picked her up in the rain at the garden. In half a second, both incidents played before his eyes.
