Seeing I was pissed, Edward immediately moved over and sat right next to me, closing the gap between us.

I tensed up, instinctively edging away from him, trying to keep my distance.

“Alright, don’t be mad. Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way,” he said, trying to make

peace.

I was just sulking for a bit, but honestly, I didn’t let it get to me.

‘It’s snowing again,‘ I muttered to myself, watching the snowflakes drift down outside the window.

This winter just seemed endless.

Outside, the air was thick with the vibe of the New Year–bright, festive colors everywhere, and you couldn’t help but feel a little happier.

Edward moved back to his seat on the other side, putting some distance between

us.

As we neared the restaurant, my nerves were stretched tight as a wire.

With each security checkpoint we passed, my anxiety grew heavier.

Edward tried to reassure me. “Don’t be nervous. I’ll speak up for you.”

“Okay,” I replied, realizing I was actually starting to lean on him a bit.

When the car finally stopped, I followed Edward into a grand living room, up the stairs to the second floor, and into a fancy private room. There, I saw Jeffrey Jennings–and for a second, I was sure I’d seen that face before. Then it clicked: I must’ve seen him on TV.

“Ms. Murphy, please, have a seat,” Jeffrey said. He looked strict, but there was something approachable about him.

“Thank you,” I replied politely, sitting down next to him. My palms were practically sweating.
