When I wake up in Donavan’s apartment, it’s like I just started a new life. Everything feels different. It always did when I was with him. All the stress, all the worry has melted away and I feel like—me again.

This is always how it was meant to be. Then I think about everything he did and how, no matter how bad I want it to be, things will never be the same.

I sit up and wrap his thousand-thread-count sheets around me and look out at the balcony. Donavan’s out there with a cup of coffee, staring at the sunrise off Lake Michigan.

It’s beautiful.

He’s beautiful.

He’s wearing nothing but a pair of athletic shorts, lounging in a chair. No phone, no laptop, no suit. No distractions, just him and that ridiculous mind of his.

I want to join him, kiss him, tell him good morning, but I don’t. Instead, I just sit there and watch for a few minutes, wondering what our lives would be if everything else hadn’t happened, if he hadn’t hurt me so bad, damaged me beyond repair. My stomach tightens again, and I feel like I might throw up.

Finally, I take a deep breath and walk out to the balcony.

His eyes light up the second he sees me. He rises from the chair, but I hold out a hand. “Good morning,” he says softly.

I blush a little, because hello, Donavan Collins came inside me last night and basically said let the fates decide what happens. I mentally smack myself on the forehead. God, and I let him do it.

Of course you did. You always did.

“Morning.” I have a seat.

He takes a sip of his coffee and he’s still the boy I remember, but so different too. I can’t put a finger on it exactly, but he’s just—aged, more mature. At least he looks more mature. It’s hot and I want to drag him back inside and put his manly body to more good use, but I can’t. We have to talk, even if it might kill me. I have so many things to say to him, but I’m scared. So scared my fingers tremble and I grip the sheets tighter around me.

Finally, I inhale a deep breath. “Donavan…”

“I know, we need to talk.”

I’m taken aback for a quick moment. Talking about feelings was not something I ever expected Donavan to be on board with, let alone bring up. He’s always been quiet and always seemed like he was brooding, even when he was in a good mood. Finally, I just nod. “We can’t do this and ignore everything else.”

“I know.”

My eyes widen a little more. Who am I even talking to right now? It’s like I have an actual adult sitting next to me. “I really don’t hold anything against you or your firm because of what happened with my dad.”

He turns and looks at me. “I wish you would’ve called. I know it would’ve been difficult for you, but we wouldn’t have represented them. I know you think
