Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

After wrapping things up with Devin, Holden had no plans to head back to his room and take a breather. Instead, he snatched up his car keys, made his way to the garage, and drove solo to Evergreen Apartments.

He had managed to get the door open here on a previous visit. Since then, he’d visited twice, fingers crossed each time, hoping to bump into the apartment’s other tenant.

Something about the apartment put Holden at ease. His restless nights became a thing of the past. He caught some solid Zs here, so he bunked at this place for the last few nights.

Holden started to see this place as his own home. He was tossing the groceries he’d just bought into the fridge when he realized a beer from the previous night’s haul was missing. Did he mess up the count?

Pushing that thought aside, Holden squared away the rest of his groceries and decided to get cleaned up to rest.

The following morning, Ariana was in the kitchen, whipping up some desserts.

Devin had texted her the previous evening, giving her a heads-up that Adele would swing by for a consultation. So, Ariana got a jump start on things and baked Adele’s go-to cake.
