Chapter 2019

Alaric was one of those guys who seemed to believe life without a woman by his side wasn't worth living.

Hertha could have sworn he and Georgia had hooked up countless times. Over the three years, with 365 days each, she wouldn't have been surprised if they'd been together over a thousand times. But she was floored when Alaric admitted it was only once.

Back then, she had been the one desperately pursuing Alaric, practically throwing herself at him while he couldn't have seemed less interested.
