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.

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.
