-Ava’s POV-
I couldn’t stop smiling. It was as if my face had been permanently frozen in the same smile I’d woken up with two days ago, after Grayson and I had nearly burned the kitchen down. The charred remains of our attempted breakfast had been forgotten, though, because I’d heard the words–those words.
“I love you.”
I didn’t care if he’d said it in the heat of the moment. I didn’t care if he hadn’t repeated it since. Grayson Blackwood had said he loved me, and I had heard it. That was all that mattered.
The memory alone made my heart flutter.
“Ava?”
I blinked, snapping out of my thoughts, and looked up to find Dr. Griffin staring at me with a deep frown. His serious expression instantly wiped the smile off my face, and I cleared my throat, sitting up straighter in my chair.
“Sorry, Dr. Griffin. I zoned out,” I said quickly, hoping to regain some semblance of professionalism.
His frown deepened, his sharp eyes scanning my face. “So, you really expect me to believe the reason you disappeared without a single word is because you were kidnapped by men who held you for ransom? And not for money, but for other personal reasons relating to your billionaire husband that you cannot disclose?”
The way he said it–his tone so dry and incredulous–made it sound even more absurd than it already was. I winced internally, When he put it like that, it did sound like an elaborate lie.
“Well,” I began, my voice faltering as I tried to find the right words. “I mean, it wasn’t something I could control. I—”
“You left without any explanation, Ava,” Dr. Griffin interrupted, his voice firm. “You left your patients, your colleagues, and your responsibilities. And now you’re asking me to believe this story
I swallowed hard, shifting uncomfortably in my seat. “You know how seriously I take this job. I wouldn’t have left if it wasn’t unavoidable. Circumstances were beyond my control”
He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest as he studied me. “And was Grayson Blackwood kidnapped as well?”
“No, he wasn’t,” I admitted reluctantly. “But I can’t say what happened to him. It’s…”
