The Calm Before the Storm.

Two afternoons later, Tessa was at the Navoris University library, reading while mapping out ideas for a medical paper.

For most med students, that kind of thing was a pipe dream–many didn’t even think about writing research until senior year. But she was only a freshman and already had a clear direction.

Ysabel showed up with two iced coffees in hand.

She spotted Tessa from afar, sitting quietly in the corner, reading. For a long moment, she just stood there, watching.

How could someone look so good just sitting still? Even in silence, she had a kind of glow that pulled people in. You couldn’t help but watch her–like gravity.

Landon was in the middle of a meeting at Thorne Corp. He hadn’t planned to check any messages, but the thought that something might have happened to Tessa made–him open it.

In the photo, his girl sat in the library corner in a white dress, chestnut hair falling over her shoulder. Her eyes were lowered as she read, calm and focused, so gentle it felt like time itself slowed down around her.
