I wake up from my nap on the sofa with Ezra. We fell asleep after our talk, both emotionally exhausted. I am lying on his chest, and his arms are protectively wrapped around me. I don’t want to move, but I need to pee, so I sort of have to.

I make sure to be careful as I remove myself from his arms because I don’t want to wake him. Luckily I manage to move without waking him. I reach for my cell, and when I check the time, I gasp realizing it is four o’clock in the afternoon. We had slept for three hours.

I believe we needed to talk about what happened to us since we have kept it inside ourselves for so long. It means we aren’t alone in our struggles now. My heart broke for him. I hate how no one cared for him when he was a kid, and his parents let that evil man hurt him. He is going to be okay, though. Ezra still has a long road of healing ahead, but he is stronger than he realizes. His confidence is a façade, his way of hiding behind the truth. I am not saying he isn’t a confident man, because he is, but not on the level he likes to show everyone else.

I sneak away, searching for the bathroom. It takes a moment, but I finally find it. I swear I need a GPS for this place. I head in and do what I need to take care of.

I walk over to the sink and stand in front of it. I glance around and notice some of Bella’s beauty products and perfume bottles lying on the vanity like a child’s discarded toys. A part of me wants to move everything out of the way, but it isn’t really my place. It makes me remember Ezra still has a girlfriend. I had forgotten about her for a little while. I wash my hands and splash some cold water on my face before finding my way back to the living room.

Ezra hasn’t moved an inch. I decide I won’t wake him up, not yet.

I sit on the floor in front of the couch and study him closely for a moment. He is such a beautiful man, close to perfect. I still wonder sometimes about his interest in me. I smile and reach out, I gently stroke his face.

“Please, don’t break my heart, Ezra,” I whisper. Things will be different when he ends things with Bella, if he ends them. I sigh, pulling away and rest my back against the sofa.

“I won’t. I promise.” The sound of his voice behind me makes me jump because I thought he was still asleep. “Sorry, angel. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

I turn around to face him on my knees. “You weren’t supposed to hear that,” I say nervously.

“I know, but I meant it, Alana. I won’t break your heart.” He sits up, patting his lap. I get up from the floor, and straddle him, and he places his hands on my hips.
