    IVY’S POVThe evening air was cool on my face amd Tara and I walked down the street, away from the office. The sun was setting so the sky was painted in orange and pink. Cars drove past us and people walked by. But I did not notice any of them.My mind was still on tomorrow.“Are you okay?” Tara asked curiously.“I am thinking.”“About what?”“About Kael. About tomorrow and about everything.”“Tara looked at me and said, “you are nervous.”“I am terrified.”She laughed loudly. “That is normal.”But I shook my head and said, “Zara is not happy about this. She thinks I am making a mistake.”Tara stopped walking and held my hand. “Do you think you are making a mistake?”“I do not know.” I admitted with a shrug and looked at the ground. “She is only accepting it because she trusts me. But she is not happy. She does not even think I am doing the right thing.”“Zara is careful.” Tara said softly. “That is why you hired her.”“I know. But I am tired of being careful. I am tired of fighting a

    IVY’S POVThe office was warm when I walked in, and I saw Tara sitting on the couch, with her legs crossed and with a cup of coffee in her hand. Zara was at her desk, going through some papers. They both looked up when I walked in.“There she is,” Tara said. “We were starting to get worried.”“Why were you worrying?” I asked feigning surprise.“Because you have been gone for hours.” Zara said and set her papers down. “So how did it go?”I dropped my bag on my desk and sat down. Though my body was tired, but my mind was still racing. I could still feel his fingers in my hair and could still see his eyes looking at my lips.“It was intense.” I said.Tara leaned forward and asked with a brow raised, “intense how?”Then I told them everything. The golf course, the way Kael had looked at me, the way he had stepped closer, the way there was no space between us, the way he had touched my hair and the way I had leaned into him instead of pulling away.Tara’s eyes got wider with every word and

She did not look back.I watched her until she got into the car and drove away.The golf course was quiet again and the sun was higher now which made the grass look greener. But I did not notice any of it.My mind was still with her. On the way she had leaned into my touch, on the way she did not pull back and on the way she had looked at me like she was seeing me for the first time.She was changing. And I did not know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.“You are staring again.”Miranda’s voice cut through my thoughts.I turned to look at her and saw that she was still standing there with her arms crossed firmly on her chest. Her smile was gone and her eyes were cold.“What do you want, Miranda?”“I already told you. I came to play golf.”“You do not play golf.”“I can learn.”I laughed coldly amd said, “you had me followed.”She did not deny it and her face did not

The grass all around me was green and the air was fresh. But I did not notice any of it, because my eyes were fixed on him.Kael was standing near the first tree.

The air was cool and fresh as I stood near the first tree, waiting.I had come early on purpose because I needed time to think. Time to prepare myself for her. Ivy.I thought about the last meeting.

I frowned at it because I was not expecting anyone.“Who is it?”There was no answer. Just another knock.I stood up and walked to the door. Then I took a deep breath and opened it.Tara stood there with a small suitcase in her hand. She was smiling from ear to ear.“Surprise!”I stared at her for a moment in shock, then I laughed and pulled her into a tight hug. “What are you doing here?”“I came to see you. Is that a crime?”“No, but you could have told me.”“And ruin the surprise?” Tara asked as she walked into the apartment and dropped her suitcase by the door. Then she looked around with interest and nodded. “Hmmmm….Nice place.”“It is not much.”“It is yours. That is what matters.”I closed the door and followed her into the living room.
