Chapter 4Before Ava could say anything, he picked her up and placed her on his lap. Ava felt a few seconds of weightlessness, and by the time she realized what was happening, she was already sitting on his lap with her head pressed against his chest.In her ear was the sound of his strong, steady heartbeat. This feeling gave Ava a momentary illusion that she, too, was someone he carefully cherished.She knew they were getting divorced, yet she couldn't help but crave the feeling of being held tightly by him. It was different from the embrace during sex - the butterflies in her chest felt like they were about to burst through her skin.Just let yourself indulge one last time, Ava told herself.James gripped the steering wheel, trying to drive as smoothly as possible, but Ava still retched from time to time.
