Chapter 45 Scarlett's Trail

• ROSALINE
• A small peck to my forehead had me squirming in the bed, and my eyes slipped open. Hovering over me was Gerald's loving face with a gaze that caused my stomach to jerk and a smile that beat the sun at brightening up my day. Instinctively, I smiled and sat up, leaning on my elbows, and I slowly placed a dry kiss on his lips.
• Yesterday could be the most beautiful day of my life if I weighed it properly. I called in sick at work, and Gerald, oh well, no one would question the CEO's decision to not be on seat. It had been a rollercoaster of emotions, intense pleasure, and vulnerability. The result of it still weighed heavily on my thighs and my arms.
