LOGINSavannah’s POV
The days at the farmhouse rolled by, and I was genuinely glad Julian was getting better. I tried not to think about Thomas, and mostly succeeded. I also made sure he wasn’t doing anything strenuous so he would recover properly. In all, things were going smoothly.
One morning, even though I had tried to reject Julian’s off
Savannah’s POVI was lying on my side of the bed, having a nice sleep, when I felt something was wrong. The kind of wrong you feel before you hear it. When the sound got louder, I blinked my eyes open, still in bed, and before I could drift off again, a sharp and ragged sound reached me, making the sleep clear from my eyes immediately.I blinked rapidly against the darkness with my heart beating hard against my chest as I turned and looked toward the other side of the bed. Beside me, Julian was twisting violently among the sheets. Alarmed, I turned on the lamp immediately to see him covered in sweat. He let out a low, breathless groan with his jaw clamped so tightly that the muscles in his neck were straining into rigid lines.“Julian?” I whispered with my voice a bit shaky as I wondered if he was having a nightmare.
Julian’s POVSeeing Savannah all rattled up about our safety was one thing I didn’t think I would find so cute. I had spent years keeping people at arm’s length. She had apparently not received that particular memo. First, she took care of me and showed me care that was even more than what my parents showed me while I was growing up, to this day.Things were going smoothly, we were getting to know each other better and honestly, it was refreshing to experience. Then there was the jealousy about Fiona, the new neighbor, and the worry about some animal footprints which I had told her not to worry about for now, while quietly filing it away in the back of my mind.After Fiona left, we finished breakfast. I had to practically drag Savannah into a nap once she was done with laundry. When she woke up by evening, I made sure to make her favorit
Savannah’s POVI was totally speechless as I turned and saw her taking a look around the whole place, making me dumbfounded.“Wow, Savannah, this house is absolutely breathtaking,” Fiona remarked in an excited tone as her eyes kept roaming around. “Damn, this place is even more stunning than I thought!”Before I could pull myself out of my stunned silence to demand what she thought she was doing, I heard footsteps and soon after, Julian stepped into the living room.He had adjusted his posture as his eyes immediately settled on Fiona. He looked a bit surprised as well.“Julian,” I cleared my throat, quickly walking over to put an end to the awkward distance. “This is Fiona, our neighbor from the east
Savannah’s POVThe days at the farmhouse rolled by, and I was genuinely glad Julian was getting better. I tried not to think about Thomas, and mostly succeeded. I also made sure he wasn’t doing anything strenuous so he would recover properly. In all, things were going smoothly.One morning, even though I had tried to reject Julian’s offer again, he made us a breakfast so good I almost hated him for it. It was kind of embarrassing that he was a better cook and so, we had agreed that once he was back on his feet, he would teach me some of his cooking skills. I also liked baking so we had a lot of things to explore together, once he was fully healed.“Hand me the syrup, country girl,” Julian murmured in a deep tone that sent warmth into my chest.
Savannah’s POVI seemed to be frozen in time as my thoughts were all over the place. Firstly, she knew all about my marriage as if I had told her everything myself, and now, this?Maybe it was because the marriage was fake or due to the fact that I was thinking too much but I still felt the question was a little bit too much to ask since we weren’t even friends yet.Fiona must have felt the sudden and freezing shift in the air, because she quickly let out a soft, flustered breath and raised her hands in surrender.“Oh, Savannah, I am so incredibly sorry,” she said hurriedly with her voice carrying a nervous tone. “Look at me, running my mouth again. I didn’t mean to be so prying or forward, I deeply apologize. Thomas always tells me I have a terrible habit
Savannah’s POV“So tell me what you’ve been up to?” Fiona asked.Her smile was the same as yesterday. Perfectly easy. Perfectly warm.“We have been very busy, and a lot happened,” I said, trying to be as vague as I could. “I caught a cold too, so we’ve been keeping a low profile.”Fiona gave me a sympathetic look. “Oh, that sounds absolutely draining. No wonder you are jumping at shadows, Savannah. You see, you really are running on empty because last winter, before you guys even moved to the line, I woke up in the middle of the night terrified because I heard scratching right outside my own kitchen window. I was convinced it was a prowler and I was so terrified but when morning came, it was just an animal.”
Julian’s POVI adjusted my collar and stepped into the commercial real estate office, heading straight for the broker's desk. I didn't care about the extra fees or the location costs because I really needed the space. I was a Montgomery by blood, but I wanted to make a name for myself. My startup wa
Savannah’s povGrowing up on a ranch had lots of advantages, as well as disadvantages.I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand as I rested against the wooden fence. Around me, the ranch was alive with the familiar sounds of a multimillion-dollar agricultural empire. Cattle grunte
Savannah’s POV“Move!” I yelled, having little time to react as I quickly dived out of their way. I had barely taken a breath of relief when I turned to see Julian, who was still frozen on the spot and he stood directly in their path.He was completely still with a frightened expression on his face
Savannah's povI had always imagined my wedding to be like a fairytale wedding, filled with love and happiness.The wedding I had was the complete opposite. There were no joyful tears, no happy toasts, and certainly no romance. All through the brief wedding, I tried not to snap at a super cold Julia
