Another week went by, and Oxcar was effectively discharged from the hospital and recovering at home. His treatments were working and his doctors were confident he would be okay eventually

With this in mind, the air around her and Kylan was more relaxed. More refreshing. Less filled with worry, and more focused on each other.

She laughed the whole way, allowing herself to fall into the domestic bliss, the happiness that Kylan gave her.

A few days later, she found herself in Kylan's Bentley, holding his hand while he drove her through the city. Her suitcases railed in the SUV trunk, and she wondered exactly where they were going.
