These past few days had been the happiest Raya had experienced since she first got entangled with Adrian Blake.
Strangely… almost unreal.
Adrian had said he wanted to spend time with her, and for once, he hadn't just said the words... he had lived them.
He stayed with her.... All the time.
He never allowed her to be alone for long. Wherever she went... whether she was reading by the window, resting on the chaise lounge, or simply staring out at the manicured gardens... Adrian found his way back to her. He was always there. A constant, steady presence that filled the spaces she hadn't even realized were empty.
It felt overwhelming.
But at the same time… deeply comforting.
Like being wrapped in a warm blanket on the coldest night.
