Today had been good. Really good.
She leaned back against the headboard, a soft smile playing on her lips. After spending time in her father's house, a place that had been nothing but a prison to her, being here in Evander's home felt like a gift she didn't deserve. Every small, mundane moment with her new little family—Ashton's cheeky grins, Sienna's gentle smile, and even Evander's quiet presence—felt so precious now.
Her eyes shifted to the bedside table, where a glass of water and her phone rested. She sighed softly, glancing at the empty side of the bed. The last time she'd seen Evander was after dinner when he'd excused himself to his office to finish some work. Her face warmed as fragments of last night flashed through her mind.
