Chapter 29 Thinking About Her!

• Stephen sat in his large leather office chair, his fingers interlaced on his desk in front of him. The room was spacious and well-lit, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the city skyline. A stack of papers sat neatly organized on one side of his desk, a framed photograph of him and his fiancée on the other.
• But his mind was far from his work. Instead, it was consumed by thoughts of Anastasia. She was the only thing he could think about lately, ever since he found out she was pregnant. He knew his fiancée and mother would not be accepting of her, but he couldn't help feeling protective of her and their unborn child.
• As he sat lost in thought, his brow furrowed and his eyes distant. He wondered how Anastasia would cope with the disapproval of those closest to him. He also couldn't shake the memory of earlier that day when he had walked into her with a towel around her chest. He had always known she was beautiful, but at that moment, it was as if he was seeing her for the first time. The image played over and over again in his mind, causing him to shift uncomfortably in his seat.
