Edward raised an eyebrow. “No pressure if you don’t want to work. Just relax for now.”

“Once I’ve taken some time off and found the right direction for my own business, I’ll start fresh,” I said.

Edward gently twirled a strand of my hair around his finger and asked in a low voice, “What kind of business do you want to start? Let me help you.”

“Alright, let’s talk about it after I’ve had some time to rest,” I replied, not turning down his offer.
