Chapter 102: CHAPTER 102

EDWINA 

Light filtered into my closed eyelids, gentle and warm. It was a soft invitation to come back into the waking world. 

I yawned, a soft smile playing on my lips as I stretched my body lazily. The room was quiet, comforting. It wrapped around me like a warm blanket. 

The softness of the sheets against my skin made me reluctant to open my eyes, but I knew I had to get my day started. 

Preferably with a kiss from my favourite person in the whole wide world. I snaked my hand through the sheets towards the other side of the bed in search of a warm body only to be met with…

My eyes flew open. 

Kieran was not beside me. 

My breath caught in my throat as I sat up, suddenly aware of the cold absence where his warmth should have been. The bed felt too big without him. 

The sudden absence confused me.

 Where was he? I glanced at the time to see that it was not even ten in the morning yet.
