The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 37

Hayley stood there, her face a canvas of distress. "Cyrus, you left your phone at home. I was scared you'd lose it and do something rash to Nancy..."

Cyrus froze, images of Nancy's pale, almost shattered demeanor flooding his mind, leaving a dense thicket of pain in its wake.

With sympathy, Hayley took Cyrus' hand in hers. "Cyrus, you love Nancy so much, and she... she's just confused right now. She'll come around. I know it."

Cyrus cut her off with a kiss, a move she hadn't anticipated. Quickly, she reciprocated, lifting her gaze to meet his intense kiss. But her eyes drifted toward the balcony.

There stood Nancy, watching them from above. Hayley's gaze, filled with triumph, seemed to say, "Even in your marital home, Cyrus dares to kiss me."
