Chapter 10

Ava

As soon as I’m dressed, I rush out to the kitchen and upon entering, stop dead in my tracks.

Oh.

My.

GOD!

“How? When?” Every single inch of counter space is full of items—baking necessities to make some of my most favorite creations. From pots and pans to sugar and flour—chocolate and fondant and even my favorite kind of piping gun set.

A giddiness I haven’t felt for months blooms deep inside my chest with the rush of a freight train. It helps me push away every negative thought—momentarily bury the nightmare I’m residing within into the back of my mind as ideas form. As another reality takes center stage.

It slams into me, and I can’t stop the tears from forming or the small, sob-like giggle that escapes. This thoughtful act touches me in a way that nothing else has before. My heart beats rapidly inside my chest and my body feels light, as if I’m floating, and as I see a small note attached to a bag of semi-sweet dark chocolate, everything becomes clear as day.

I have no idea how it happened or why, but it did. I am.

My desire for him grows and feelings morph. When this is all over, the flip-flopping emotions are going to give me a mental breakdown.

It’s bad and oh so good and dangerous. Could be fatal for me. For him.

“I fell for him.” Even as I say the words aloud, the truth behind them is undeniable. This is romance-book fast and makes no sense, but I did. I walk to the island and pick up the note, reading his quick words. They’re simple and sweet, and that butterfly fluttering in my belly takes off at a rapid speed, making a smile stretch across my lips.
