He nodded. “It seems like a dream job.”

“I can sense a ‘however’ in there.”

“However you by no means did like enclosed locations. You’ve at all times cherished the ocean and the mountains, the open valleys and areas the place you’ll be able to see far into the gap.”

She took a fragile chunk of her fish, however there was rigidity in her stiff actions and the taut planes of her face. “What can I say? I suppose I lastly grew up and realized I needed to settle for I couldn’t have every thing in life I wished. So I compromised.”

“I had no thought how a lot I harm you, or the repercussions I brought about.”

She brushed some salt off her palms onto her thighs, then shrugged. “I survived. Ten plus hours in a airplane is nothing once you step out onto the tarmac after which enterprise out into one other a part of the world you’ll be able to solely dream about. The Maldives. Paris. Africa and its safaris. Santorini, Greece. Bora Bora. The checklist is infinite.”

“Are you cheerful, although?” he requested softly.

She frowned, and shoved some chips into her mouth, as if pushing aside having to reply. When she lastly swallowed she stated coolly, “In fact I’m joyful. Did you actually suppose our breakup affected me your complete eighteen years?”

Prefer it’d affected him? Most likely not. And but, there was one thing not fairly proper in her phrases. Like she knew all the precise issues to say, whilst his instincts stated it was all an act. It was too polished, too pressured.

“All I do know is I wrecked one thing unbelievable,” he conceded. “Wrecked a future we might have had collectively, a cheerful ending we each deserved.”

“I’m glad you’re lastly see that now,” she stated, her gaze observing him carefully. “I typically questioned when you had any regrets.”

“I’ve by no means regretted something greater than what I did to you,” he admitted.

She tilted her head to the facet, her voice skeptical. “Actually?”

I’m not that asshole who broke up with you and who couldn’t see your ache by way of my very own grief.”

She sighed closely, clearly not hungry along with her share of the fish and chips barely touched. “It’s a moot level now, isn’t it?” She caught a chip in her mouth and chewed slowly, then stated, “Let’s go watch your motion film.”

The gulls loved the remnants of their lunch and have been nonetheless combating over the scraps as Aiden and Luna packed up, then walked again to his penthouse suite. It wasn’t till they have been seated on the couch and selecting a film that he stated, “You recognize what, let’s watch a romantic comedy.”

She arched a blonde forehead. “Why, so you’ll be able to ravish me midway by way of the film?”

“Oh, I doubt I’ll make it that far,” he stated with an unrepentant grin.

Her eyes glinted. “Ought to we take this to the bed room, then? It’s not like we have now popcorn, anyway.”

He stood. “The film can wait.” He held out his hand and drew her to her ft. “However we will’t.”

She giggled then, her face flushing. “Sounds such as you owe me a film and popcorn tonight.”

He bent and lifted her towards his chest. “Deal,” he murmured throatily.
