The moment I heard that familiar name, I couldn’t help smiling. Seeing his eyes shine like that, I curved my lips. “Okay. I’ll help however I can. But when it comes to confessing, that part is on you.”

Theo pounded his chest. “I know! I just need your big-name reputation to open the door for me!”

When he dropped me off at the estate road, he added, “If you need anything, just call me. I know the Mooncrest Pack like the back of my

hand.”

The car drove through a shaded path lined with camphor trees that blocked out the sky. Only when the familiar carved iron gate appeared did I finally relax.

This estate was something I bought three years ago, hoping it would be a hideaway I could retreat to occasionally. I didn’t expect to leave it untouched for so long.

As soon as the car stopped, I stepped out and was wrapped in the scent of grass and trees. For a moment, it felt like I had stepped backward in time.

“Ms. Lamb!” A slightly raspy female voice came from inside the gate, trembling with excitement.

I turned toward it. A woman in a navy apron was hurrying toward me, the loose strands of hair by her cheeks fluttering in the wind. It was Lydia Monroe. The estate’s caretaker I hired, and the daughter of one of my mother’s old friends.

“Lydia.” I smiled and walked to her. Her hand brushed my arm, and her eyes instantly turned red. “It’s really you! You finally came back! I’ve been looking at your photo every day for three years, scared you would never return.”

“How could I not come back?” I held her arm and walked into the garden. “How is everyone? Did Edith’s rheumatism flare up again? And what about Dalton’s back injury?”

“All good, all good!” Lydia waved both hands quickly, her voice urgent and happy.

“Edith tends the garden every day. Her rheumatism has almost disappeared. Dalton recovered last winter and even helps fix the fence now. Oh, and Bubby had a litter of puppies. They’ll be a month old soon. They’re so fluffy and cute. Let’s go inside and I’ll show you!”

As we stepped into the front courtyard, several staff members who had been cleaning saw me and rushed over. “Hello, Ms. Lamb!”

“So glad you’re back!” I nodded and smiled at each of them. Suddenly something soft brushed my ankle. I looked down. A snow-white Samoyed sat in front of me, tail wagging, staring up with big shiny eyes.

“Bubby! You’ve gotten so big!” I crouched down. He bumped his head into my hand affectionately and let out soft whines.

Three years ago, he was just a tiny puppy. Now he had grown into a majestic, fluffy cloud of a dog.

“I cleaned your room every day. The sheets and covers were changed just last week. They smell like sunshine.”

Lydia took my backpack. “Go rest upstairs. I’ll tell the kitchen to make your favorite foie gras.”

“Thank you, Lydia.” I carried Bubby up to the second floor. He squirmed in my arms and, the moment we reached the room, he hopped down and scampered toward the rug by the window.

I opened the balcony doors. A lavender field exploded into view. Just like when I left three years ago. The wind moved across the purple sea of flowers, sending the scent drifting into the

room.

I leaned against the window, watching the sunset in the distance. For the first time in a long while, the restlessness inside me faded.
