Chapter 77: A Changed Man

Something was wrong. Henry couldn't have forgotten his fiancée, the woman with whom he was involved in the car accident. Unless he'd suffered brain damage....

The next moment, she was lost in a passionate embrace, her thoughts consumed. He was drunk, his cyes filled with a raw, desperate intensity that frightened her. Afterward, Sonya felt utterly exhausted, while Henry slept soundly. She cleaned herself up. Back in bed, she watched him sleep.

"Mmm, husband," she mumbled sleepily.

"Sweetheart, I have to go to work."

"Mm." She didn't want to open her eyes.

"Dinner out tonight?"

"Okay."

Sonya turned to sleep, but he returned and kissed her again. She loved his scent - a clean, cool fragrance.

She smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck, returning his kiss.

"I don't want to go to work today," he murmured against her nose.
