“Yup.” She laughs.

“Ellis and Frey?” I frown, trying up at The Montwell once more.

“Oooo, you’re getting good at this. Come on, that is the final one!”

I choose up the bouquet of roses, glancing round one final time earlier than leaving the studio. This entire afternoon has been insane.

Vinny is watching me intently as I climb into the automotive, clearly gauging my response.

“I adore it, Vin,” I say, bunching up my nostril and letting him pull me below his arm.

“I knew you’ll. You’ll be improbable, love.”

“Thanks.” I flip to look again at Lucy. “Thanks each.”

“Not crucial,” she snaps, getting again into beast mode. “To the workplace, Vinny!” She slaps the again of his seat.

George ison the reception after we enter the entrance space, and he stands as we strategy the desk. “Effectively, hi there. You’re solely half an hour late.” He appears to be like at Lucy accusingly.

“Sorry, she took her candy ass time preparing. Then we had tears.”

“Tears?” he asks, real concern etched throughout his face.

I hand him the notes I’ve acquired thus far.

“Mason writes in third particular person?” He followers his face. “It’s essential to train me your methods on how you can tame him.”

I chuckle, taking them again from him. “Belief me, George, if anybody is nice at taming that man, it’s you.”

“Hello.” Jasmine walks out from behind us, a stack of papers in her arms. “Sorry I can’t cease, tremendous busy right this moment.”

“That’s okay.” I smile.

“Sure,” George says. “The Bossman took the break day. One thing extra vital to be doing apparently.” He rolls his eyes jokingly at us.

“Mason isn’t right here?” I ask, turning and frowning at Lucy.

“Nope! The final clue’s in his workplace,” she tells me, pushing me within the again and steering me to the double doorways.

I enter the workplace and immediately get misplaced in all issues Mason Lowell. His odor, woodsy and simply him, it smothers me—it at all times has. All the things in regards to the workplace has him branded on it, from the chair rolled as much as the desk to the cushions scattered on the sofas. Such irrelevant issues but so private to him, and to me. I spot a photograph body on his desk, a be aware tacked to the entrance of it. I slide down into his desk chair and peel it off.

The body holds three photographs. The primary is of the 2 of us in Paris, standing below the Eiffel tower. The second is of me, my abdomen stretched and full. “I used to be round seven months alongside when this picture was taken,” I say absentmindedly. “He should have taken it from the binder I gave him.” The third image has me gasping by means of extra tears. Daylight beams by means of the floor-to-ceiling window, momentarily reflecting off the body and setting a glare across the room. It has goose bumps rippling up my arms and neck. It’s an image of Mason, Ellis, and me at Lowerwick Property. Vinny took the picture on the ball. He requested that we stand on the steps in entrance of the home. Mason is standing to my left, his arm proudly round his son in his arms, and his different arm is wrapped round my waist.

I sniffle, making an attempt to compose myself as I steal a second. I stare on the picture.

“Open the envelope, Nina,” Lucy tells me softly from someplace within the room.

At some point she’s going to go to the meadow, sit on the hill, and watch her household develop.

At some point, however not but.

For now, he asks that she comes residence.

Please, Angel. Come residence.

“House?” I ask, darting my eyes up and looking for Lucy’s blue ones.
