Chapter 71. Totally Get Lost

Our new life was everything we had dreamed of and more. We spent our days working tirelessly for the success of our business and our nights wrapped in each other’s embrace, relishing in the freedom and love we had found.

And when things got too overwhelming, he knew just how to ease my anxieties with soft touches and kisses that made all my worries melt away.
