Late at night.
Only the bedside lamp was on, casting a warm, amber glow that bathed the bedroom in an intimate, sensual haze.
Sienna lay flat on her back, her eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Finn's breathing gradually deepened beside her.
He had taken her with relentless stamina, entirely exhausting himself before finally collapsing onto his back, his limbs spread wide as his racing heartbeat slowly returned to a steady rhythm.
Sienna could still feel the intense heat radiating from his body.
It carried the lingering scent of their passion, mixed with the damp, heavy warmth of his skin.
Finn was fast asleep, but Sienna's mind was racing.
Staring into the soft halo of light above her, all she could think about was the impending trip to Sunset Isle on Saturday.
A proposal meant marriage, and marriage meant having children...
She felt like she was standing at the entrance of a perfectly straight highway, the signs clearly marking every exit and the final destination.
She remembered what Lily had said to her.
"If you get pregnant, Finn is going to baby you like crazy."
She hadn't known how to respond then, because she wasn't entirely sure if that was the life she wanted anymore.
She used to want it. She had thought about it constantly.
During those first three years they were dating, she had fantasized endlessly about their wedding, their home, and their future children.
But she had been twenty back then. She had naively believed that life simply meant loving a man, marrying him, having a baby, and letting the years roll perfectly down that predetermined track.
Now, she was pushing thirty.
She had lost that girlish innocence.
She was no longer the naive, blindly trusting Sienna.
What mattered most to her now was her career and realizing her own worth.
Out of habit, she lifted her wrist, her eyes tracing the jagged scar resting on her skin.
When they were intimate earlier, Finn had pressed tender kisses against that very scar.
He had never forgotten what she went through.
