Chapter 6
I looked up at him. He looked wiped from the flight, but I smiled anyway and grabbed
his arm.
“I thought your flight was tomorrow?”
He kissed my forehead. “I wrapped up early and caught an earlier flight. So, are you going to introduce me?”
Justin and Zoe were staring.
“Right. This is my husband, Parker Lewis. And they’re my…”
I trailed off. What was I supposed to call them
My ex-husband and the woman he left me for
Before I could figure it out, Justin cut in. He stared at me with a look I couldn’t read.
“Your husband is Parker Lewis? When did you get married?”
Zoe looked Parker up and down like she couldn’t believe it.
Parker looked completely at ease. He offered his hand to Justin with a smile that didn’t
reach his eyes.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Hayes.”
Justin reached out. “Mr. Lewis, I’ve heard so much about you.”
Just as Justin’s hand extended, Parker smoothly withdrew his.
Zoe kept glancing between the Bentley and Parker’s clothes. I could practically hear the gears turning.
She was trying to figure out why I’d be working a service job if I was married to money.

We pulled away. Parker took my hand.
His hand closed over mine. The warmth felt good.
Just like he’d done before.
I met Parker at the hospital where Harry was staying. His mother had the room next door, and he visited her every day.
That was how we got to know each other.
When I left the recovery center and found out Harry had died, I collapsed at the hospital.
I couldn’t hold it together.
Parker was the one who kept me from falling apart.
After the divorce, I thought about killing myself more times than I could count. I
couldn’t think of a single reason not to.
My family was gone. My husband had cheated. I’d lost my baby.
I’d watch couples laughing together on the street and feel numb. I was alive, but I had
no idea what I was living for.
He stayed close for months. I think he was afraid I’d do something stupid.
I eventually learned Parker’s wife had died five years ago. He knew what it felt like to
have your world fall apart.
He’d been in my shoes. He wanted to get me through it.
What he gave me was real. Justin never came close.
Parker had spent five years grieving his wife. My whole marriage to Justin lasted five
years.
With him, I found my footing again.
We got close. I told him everything.
