Chapter 209 What Did He Tell Her?

• I woke up the next morning alone in a cold bed, frowning at the alarm clock. I'd been perfectly willing to forgive and forget last night and get things back to normal between me and Nicholas.
• However, he hadn't come home until almost midnight.
• He had some dinner meeting that went long, and I eventually went to bed by myself. I hazily remembered the bed dipping behind me at some point during the night, and Nicholas snuggling close, but I fell back into a deep sleep and didn't wake up again until after he'd already left.
