A dull, familiar ache blossomed inside of me at the idle thought, an old emptiness that I had grown. accustomed to pushing away rising up in the wake of Noah’s proximity. I quickly averted my gaze, my cheeks flushing slightly as I fought to regain my composure.

Clearing my throat again, I gently extracted myself from Noah’s side. “I’m just going to… powder my real quick,” I mumbled, already starting to turn away. “I’ll be right back.”
Noah simply nodded absently, his attention having been snagged by something across the field. I didn’t wait for him to reply further before hurrying away, my steps sharp and brisk as I made a beeline for the house, my cheeks still burning hotly.
Once inside the cool interior of the mansion, I drew in a deep, steadying breath, allowing my shoulders to slump ever so slightly. Get a grip, I chided myself sternly. The last thing I needed right now was to start getting flustered and ridiculous over nothing.
Lifting my chin high again, I made my way toward the bathroom just off the main foyer. The soft sound of the picnic drifted through the open windows, an oddly relaxing sound. Reaching out, I turned the handle, swinging the door open-
“Hannah.”
I turned at the sound of the voice to see Drake hurrying down the hall, an easy smile on his lips.
“Drake,” I said, releasing my grip on the door and turning. I felt a reluctant smile tugging at the corners of my own lips as he pulled me into a loose hug. “I trust you’re enjoying the picnic.”
Drake simply hummed in acknowledgment, his knowing gaze flickering over my face.
“Everything going okay? No… issues?” he asked carefully.
I knew what he was really asking-whether I had been able to pull Noah and Zoe apart. That was our plan, after all; the other day, when Drake and I had gone on that motorcycle ride together, I had made him a promise.
I had promised that I would work to keep Zoe and Noah apart so that Drake could talk to her. So that he could explain why he had been acting the way he had for so long.
And hopefully, so that they could make amends.
“Zoe went off on her own,” I said quietly, nodding my head toward the direction of the picnic. “You should have a good chance.”
Tipping his head back, Drake regarded me through hooded eyes for a long moment. Then, finally, he nodded once and straightened, resting his hands on his hips. “Alright. I’ll go try to find her,” he said. “Keep your fingers crossed for me?”
“Of course,” I replied, keeping my tone as light and unburdened as I could manage. “I hope it goes well. You… You both deserve that happiness.”
Drake simply grinned at me, his eyes crinkling at the corners, before giving me a playful wink and slipping back out of the mansion. I watched him go, my smile fading slowly as the door swung shut behind him.
Letting out a heavy sigh, I pushed my way into the bathroom and strode over to the mirror, leaning on the

cool marble sink as I poked and prodded at my makeup. I had gone for a matching pants and top set today with stylish boots, seeing as how I would be spending the day outside, and wore a cropped jacket over the top to keep myself warm.
I looked good. Too bad my husband wouldn’t be noticing.
My husband.
For a moment, my hand fluttered down to my belly-not only where the little life inside of me was taking root, but also where that undeniable sense of want had blossomed before. Goddess, it had felt like forever. Tonight would have been the night of our monthly intimacy.
But not anymore. Not when…
Suddenly, the door crashed open, causing me to gasp and whirl around. A tall figure loomed in the doorway, and I parted my lips to call for help as my fingers curled around the marble of the sink behind me -only to realize who it was.
“Noah? This is the ladies’ bathroom!” I exclaimed.
Noah didn’t seem to care. He slammed the door shut and locked it without a word, then strode over to me
He came so close that the hard planes of his body pressed into mine, pushing me further up against the sink.
“Were you with Drake just now?” he hissed, his voice low and dangerous.
