I waited for her out on the terrace, where we had first met. The afternoon sun felt pleasantly warm as I leaned across the railing, eyes looking out over the valley without really seeing it. Most of the head pain I had been experiencing had finally gone, replaced by nervousness and anticipation of seeing Harper again. The meds must be working.

“Hello?” Her voice was uncertain, embarrassed.

I almost bit my tongue again, but took care not to; the pain in my mouth was still there from the fall.

“Back here,” I yelled.

I looked back over the expanse of woods and hills, taking a deep breath of the fresh air as I heard the glass door open. I turned away from the beautiful view, finding Harper striding toward me. Her blue sundress matched her eyes perfectly. She reached up, picking up her hair off her neck and letting the breeze hit her neck.

“Nice day.”

I nodded, my tongue feeling like lead again, this time for an entirely different reason than my injuries. “Thank you for coming.”

She edged closer to me, letting her hair back down so it curled around her shoulders, those liquid eyes taking in the view as if it was her first time seeing it. She looked the part of a young, beautiful, innocent woman again, just as she had in the vineyard, before everything had fallen apart. Suddenly her eyes turned to me, taking the sight of me in. Her gaze flicked down my body a few times then traveled back up to my face, zooming in on the stitches just below my hairline. “You look pale.”

“Head wounds do that to you.” I laughed, trying to put her at ease. She smiled a little, still squinting to see the stitches. “I got hit in the back of the head.”

“God, Mason—Asher,” she corrected myself, blushing a little. “What happened after you left the bar?”

“We can talk about that later. Care to sit down?” I gestured toward the loveseat.

I watched her carefully, trying to gage her reaction. She paused for a few moments, thinking, but ultimately she walked over to the seat and sat down, knees pressed tightly together. I followed suit, making sure to keep my distance.

“I’m glad you’re okay.” She looked at me, tears making her eyes look glassy as she met my gaze, then looked down at her hands.

I took a deep breath. “Harper, I need you to listen to me right now. Can you do that?”

She nodded, blinking away her tears a couple of times.

“I’m sorry for being deceitful. I lied, there’s nothing more I can say about that. Yes, I only wanted you to know me for who I truly am, not for all my money like all the clients and the girls at the mixers. I know now that I was wrong, that you aren’t like that at all. You’d never be seduced by wealth. But I had been burned so many times in the past, and even though I wanted to believe you were different, I couldn’t let myself until I knew for sure.
