“Dawn, look after yourself, alright.”

Dawn stared at the same unreadable face. For some reason, her nose prickled. Like always, she thumped his chest.

This time, she didn’t hold back. The hit made him stagger half a step.

“Make sure Benjamin’s okay.”

She didn’t stay a second longer. She turned away and got into the car.

Neither of them was any good with emotional goodbyes, but they both understood how much they meant to each other.

Dawn watched the scenery sliding past outside the window, all those shifting colors tumbling into her mind.

Maybe the path ahead wouldn’t be easy.

But once she started walking it, she wouldn’t get to turn back.

Back at Eastcrest Regency Residence, she grabbed her bag. “Take my car home, okay? If anything comes up, go straight to Aidan. And thanks for keeping things running at the company.”

Victor studied her through the rearview mirror. “You’re not taking me to Ithelia?”

“Mason has to go. If you leave too, there’ll be no one I trust left in Crestavia.”

She said it plainly, and Victor’s hand tightened around the wheel.

She didn’t catch it. She just smiled and stepped out of the car.

“Don’t pressure yourself. Whatever the result is, I’ll believe in you.”

Victor stayed in the car. His eyes tracked her for a long, long moment.

Tara had heard Dawn was flying overseas.

The moment Dawn walked in, she hurried over to help her pack.

“Anything you’re craving? I’ll get Hannah to make it–something that keeps well and is easy to

bring. Food over there is awful.”

She said that and rushed downstairs to talk to Hannah about the dishes, and soon their chatting made the quiet villa feel warm again.

Dawn couldn’t stop a small smile. A soft warmth spread through her chest.

“What’s on your mind?”

A firm presence pressed against her back. She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. She remembered his foul mood that morning and gentled her tone. “Thinking about you.”

She turned and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Thinking some random seductress might snatch you away.”

Ethan didn’t reply. He kissed the edge of her ear, slow and light. After a long moment, his voice came out low. “Handling one like you is already a handful.”

“What about the ones who aren’t?”

“Still you.”

Dawn had always known he could toss out sweet lines effortlessly. But now… they just didn’t move her the way they once had.

“Alright. We’re sleeping early tonight.”

She nudged him lightly. “My flight’s at dawn.”

Dawn had never liked bright lighting; only a small night lamp glowed. In the dimness, his eyes were dark as night, carrying a heat she couldn’t quite name.

“Where are we sleeping?” he murmured against her ear.

“Huh?” Dawn blinked. “Here.”

“Then together.”

In the next breath, he released her and strode to the door.

He locked it, came back, and swept her off her feet.

A few steps later, he tossed her onto the bed.

By morning, several alarms were ringing. Dawn reached out on instinct, but no one was beside

her.

She opened her eyes. Sunlight filled the room. The weather was extraordinarily clear.

She got ready and headed downstairs. The man in the kitchen was actually cooking himself.

Dawn glanced around. No Hannah. No Tara.

She tiptoed over and hugged him from behind.

“Hehe.”

She tilted her head, smiling in a playful, sugary way.

Ethan looked down at her. “Up early today.”

“Couldn’t sleep without you.” Dawn peered at the pan. “What are you making?”

“Scrambled egg sandwiches.”

He poured the beaten eggs into the pan, flicked the spatula twice, and a warm aroma drifted

out.

Dawn leaned against his back. His clean, woodsy scent drifted into her lungs. She inhaled deeply. “Forget breakfast, I could live off your scent.”

Ethan turned to grab a plate, and she moved with him, matching his steps.

“Why so clingy today?”

He let out a quiet laugh. “Don’t cry if you fall.”

“With you here? I won’t.”

Her teasing tone landed light and natural.

Just one night, and they seemed to find their rhythm again. As if all the tangled things from before had vanished. Just an ordinary couple making breakfast together.

Dawn didn’t bother asking where Tara and Hannah had gone.

When Ethan set the sandwiches on the table, she poured two glasses of milk herself.

“Want coffee?” Ethan asked.

Her eyes brightened. “Yes!”

“Wait here.”

He stood and soon came back with two lattes.

Dawn looked at him, warmth blooming quietly in her chest. She lowered her gaze and took a bite of the sandwich. “This is delicious.”
