Alice POV
When I heard the knock on the door, I knew that it was Mrs. Royce picking up the bread that she ordered last night. It was still early and thank God I woke up early and managed to finish baking the bread.
"Good morning, Mrs-" My words were left hanging as did my mouth open when I found not Mrs. Royce but someone I was longing to see but thought that I would never see again.
Before I knew it, my shoulders were pulled by two hands and my body crashed into his broad chest. I am engulfed by his tight yet warm embrace. It was something that I would never think I would get the chance to experience in this lifetime.
My heart is beating ecstatically, it was so loud that I know he could feel and hear it considering that my chest is pressed into his.
