It was one of those quiet mornings—the kind that usually brought peace. But recently, no quiet could calm the storm inside.I sat on the edge of my bed, fingers interlaced over my growing belly, watching how sunlight danced across the floorboards. It was unreal to be sitting here, where I once believed my life was simple. Safe.And now, it all seemed a fiction I had created to remain sane.Damon's face refused to leave my mind. His voice.
