Chapter 11: CHAPTER 11

EDWINA

I considered spending the next day in bed, torturing myself by going back to the conversation I had with Kieran at the dinner party last night.

I was due to fly back to New York tomorrow to tie up some loose ends and come back here with my whole life in a suitcase.

I wasn't sure how Noah would adapt to a new environment, since he basically spent the four years of his life in New York. But he was excited when I told him the news.

Bored out of my mind, tired of thinking about Kieran over and over, I decided to go out. 

Orion would have done a great job of taking my mind off things, but the words we exchanged last night was like a rope between us. 

I knew he was just worried about me, and that I should apologize and let him know I didn't mean to snap at him, but I didn't have the energy for that right now.

So I picked up my phone and dialed my best friend.

Harriet picked up on the second ring.
