“Have you ever been to Ascot before?” I ask Zoey as she sits at the dresser in her bedroom, getting ready. I spot some post-it notes with kittens on the edge and smile. I’ve noticed the flat becoming more and more ‘Zoey’. It started with her favourite woven throw blanket that now lives on the back of the couch. And there’s more post-it notes by the front door and in the kitchen. All with cute animals and very ‘Zoey’. The thing is, I like it all.

It’s been four days since we told her family about us. Since I shouted at her father, I refuse to let anyone make Zoey feel less than she is. She’s amazing, kind and full of life and hearing someone try and tear all that from her… No, I wasn’t about to let that happen. Luckily, her brothers have been okay about it all. Max hasn’t cut me out and Owen, well, he’s still his usual stoic self.

“Uhh, I think once, when I was younger,” she replies, fluttering a brush over her cheeks.

“Okay, well, most of my team will be there, so you can meet them.” I pull out my cufflinks from the box and put them on as I continue. “We’re in a box, but they’re connected to other companies too, Bancroft Insurance included.”

I look up just in time to see the flicker of hesitation in her eyes. “So, that’s why you told me there would be booze because I’ll need it to survive today?”

“That and… I’m pretty sure Vanessa is going to be there,” I say, wincing, waiting for her to flat out refuse to go. I wouldn’t blame her. Not only will she be around her parents, but also my vindictive ex. If she’s really okay with this, I’ll massage her feet for the entire year as a thank you.

She shrugs. “Okay, no big deal. If I’ve lived my whole life with my parents, a little entitled socialite won’t hurt me. It might actually be fun.”

It’s official. Zoey Bancroft is perfect.

Walking up behind her, I watch her in the mirror, not able to stop the smile from spreading across my face.

“What? Is my make up too much?” she asks, looking back at her reflection.

I shake my head. “No. I was just thinking about how I’m grateful for you. You make marriage seem easy.”

“I make fake marriages seem easy,” she replies, her blue eyes focusing on me in the mirror, sending a bolt of need spearing its way into my body. And this isn’t the first time it’s happened. Zoey is a very touchy feely person. I know she’s told me before that physical touch is her thing, but I don’t know if she realises how much each of her touches engrains into my skin and keeps me coming back for more. A graze, a brush of a fingertip. I’m an addict, and I can’t stay away from her. And now, even though she isn’t touching me, her stare blankets me completely, making a warmth pool in my gut.
