Chapter 289

• Savvy
• I collapsed onto the bed, breathing hard, completely spent. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Terona Silver watching me. His gaze steady, unreadable before he slowly lay beside me. His arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me close until I was resting against his chest. I didn’t resist.
• I sank into my husband’s embrace, finding peace there. As if he were the missing half of me. I fit in his arms better than I ever had anywhere else, and I lay there for a long time, simply listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.
