163 RECALLING THE ACHE

EIGHT YEARS AGO

LUKE’S POV

I took a deep breath as I held the door open for Harriet, my heart pounding with excitement. This was our first date since we both met, and I wanted it to be perfect. As we stepped into the elegant restaurant, Harriet’s eyes widened in awe.

“Wow, this place is amazing,” she said, looking around at the crystal chandeliers and the intricate

decorations.

“I’m glad you like it,” I replied with a smile, feeling relieved that she was impressed with my choice

of venue.
