Chapter 117

Chapter 117

“Senately, how did you get here so fast? There’s no way you could have caught the earliest flight,” Jocelyn mused with a blend of

bally and disbelief.

Sitting beside her, Harrison took her hand gently in his own, examining it with care. “I drove here,” he stated simply.

‘Drove?” Jocelyn’s voice pitched with shock. That didn’t make sense either. They were over a thousand miles away. Even if he had left the moment they hung up last night, that would barely be thirteen hours

Her thoughts drifted to Melvin.

In over three years together, Melvin had never cooked a meal for her.

What was she holding onto?

Harrison put together a simple yet comforting meal: baked chicken, sautéed green beans, a crisp Caesar salad, and even managed to toast up some garlic bread. It wasn’t elaborate, but it was made with care.
