Winning Back His Ex's Wife's Broken Heart by Hayley

Chapter 64

Richard's

POV

The snow continued to fall softly outside, wrapping the world in a cozy blanket of white. It felt like everything was muted, as if the universe was giving us space to breathe and just be together. I lay there, Sarah nestled against me, and for the first time in a long time, I felt truly content.

That was our first sex together and incredible was an understatement. But with that comfort came a sense of vulnerability that scared me.

As I watched her sleep, her chest rising and falling steadily, I thought about everything that had brought us to this moment.

Sarah was more than just my ex-wife; she was a part of me. And now, as we explored this new chapter together, I realized how much I had missed her.

I thought back to the laughter we had shared on our do-over date at the tourist spots, how we had teased each other, enjoying every silly moment.

It was like we were discovering each other all over again, and it felt amazing.

And then there was the cooking class, where I had tried too hard to impress her and ended up creating a kitchen disaster.

I remembered how she had laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement, and I felt a warmth in my chest. It was the kind of laughter that made the world feel lighter.

"Hey, are you awake?" Sarah's voice broke through my thoughts. She stirred, looking up at me with those big, bright eyes that seemed to see right through me.

"Yeah, I am," I replied, smiling. "I didn't want to wake you."

She pushed herself up on her elbows, a sleepy grin spreading across her face. "I could get used to this," she said, glancing around the cozy living room, the warm glow of the fireplace dancing across her features.
