Chapter 62 Kissing Her

• Hardin's POV
• I sat in my office, my eyes glued to the computer screen, but my mind was elsewhere. Thoughts of Freda consumed my every waking moment, and I couldn't shake them no matter how hard I tried. It was infuriating.
• I had tried to distract myself with work, to bury myself in the tasks at hand, but her presence lingered in my thoughts like a stubborn ghost. It was as if her essence had seeped into every crevice of my mind, refusing to let go.
