Chapter 37: Claire’s POV

I make my way to the stage and am handed a medal along with a plaque showcasing my name. I smile as I begin my acceptance speech.

I then watch his face change into a look of wonder. Leo slowly takes my chin and places one small kiss on my lips and I feel a small spark fly. I smile back slowly.
My career has reached its peak and I got to celebrate my success alongside my ex–husband. It was one of the few positive things that’s happened to me these last few weeks. And yet, they outweighed the bad in this moment.
