Hannah Things go wrong when we stroll into the guesthouse with blue paint, rollers, and other things we might need. I only set down the items before I tumble forward like a newborn calf, pushing a vase off a shelf while Tobias takes off his shoes in the hallway. "No-no-no!" I try to reach it in ti
By now, my heart is pounding so hard that it's getting harder to breathe. My chest feels too tight for my heart, and my hands are shaking, so I grip the zipper of the hoodie I'm wearing. Tobias looks sympathetic, which only makes me hurt even more. If he says something soothing, I might cry, so in
Tobias I received a worrying phone call earlier. I'm supposed to be picking something to wear for my date with Hannah, but now I can't focus. Not with this growing knot in my belly. Ford Hotels have built two new hotels in Europe, and its tradition that the CEO(me) visits all hotels before their

"Proof?" Tobias cuts me off. His face is no longer calm, but his eyes are darkened with fury. "You need proof, Hannah?" I stare at him, face wet with tears. Tobias's nostrils are flaring, and he is breathing hard, but so am I. We are both upset, and my emotions are all over the place. I'm not thi
Hannah "Do you have to go on this business trip?" I ask Tobias. We are snuggling in bed after having sex, and funnily enough, I'm the big spoon. Though, I can't say I'm complaining. My man needs to feel precious and taken care of sometimes. I bet his employees would find it funny if they knew tha
