A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 57

Eleanor sensed a familiar scent emanating from him through his thin white shirt, causing her to freeze in an instant.

She instinctively glanced up at his collarbone, hoping to see the distinctive blue dragon tattoo, but it was nowhere to be found.

Disappointed, she lowered her gaze, thinking, “I guess it’s really not him.”
