Evelyn 's POVJulian stayed quiet for so long that I eventually began to wonder whether I'd said too much, whether all the thoughts I'd been carrying around for months had arrived at him in one overwhelming wave and left him without any idea how to respond, because the only sound inside the RV was the faint hum of the heater and the distant rustle of wind moving through the trees outside.Then, unexpectedly, he lowered his head and laughed.The sound was soft.Not amused.Not triumphant.If anything, it carried a kind of weary tenderness that made my chest tighten all over again.When he finally looked up, there was something almost heartbreakingly vulnerable in his expression.“Evelyn.”I swallowed.“Yeah?”A faint smile touched his lips.“You know what the funniest part of all this is?”The question caught me off guard.“What?”For a moment he simply looked at me.The warmth in his eyes was so unguarded that holding his gaze felt strangely difficult.Then he answered.“I've always t

Evelyn's POVSo I didn't answer.Instead, I reached for the front of his shirt, curled my fingers into the fabric, rose onto my toes, and kissed him.The surprise lasted only a fraction of a second.Then Julian's hand found my waist.The distance between us disappeared.And for once, fate, technology, hungry dogs, poorly timed reminders, and every other force that had spent the evening interrupting us finally chose to stay out of the way.Because this time, there was no ringtone.Julian's lips were soft, yet somehow the kiss we shared now felt more intense than any kiss we'd exchanged before. I lost track of time almost immediately, aware of nothing except the warmth between us and the quiet sounds that filled the small space of the RV. When I finally pulled back slightly in search of air, Julian's hand slid to the back of my neck and drew me toward him again, capturing my mouth in a kiss so fierce and full of restrained emotion that it stole the breath from my lungs all over again.B

Evelyn's POVAfter that night, Julian and I finally found our way back to each other, and looking back now, I think those weeks that followed were probably the happiest period of my life. My divorce from Sebastian was almost finished as well, with the attorneys telling me that the court's final ruling would likely arrive sometime next week, and for the first time in years I felt as though my future belonged entirely to me.Before that could happen, however, I still had one last business trip.As it happened, Julian was traveling to the same city for a conference of his own, and we'd made plans to meet after our respective work obligations were finished.The symposium ran longer than expected.Afterward I bumped into several former classmates, which inevitably turned into drinks, then stories, then more drinks, and somewhere along the way my good intentions regarding moderation quietly disappeared. By the time I left the hotel bar, a pleasant haze had settled over everything, softening

Evelyn's POV“Good evening, ma'am. Is there a problem here?”It wasn't until Sebastian's grip shifted from restraining my wrist to wrapping possessively around my shoulders that I finally got a clear look at who had arrived.Hotel security.Not a guest.Not another traveler.Security.Relief hit me so hard my knees almost gave out.The guard's eyes moved over me briefly, taking in my disheveled hair, the wrinkles in my blazer, the flush on my face, and the fact that I was clearly unsteady on my feet. I knew exactly how I must have looked standing in that doorway—drunk, upset, and visibly distressed—yet before I could say anything else, Sebastian had already slipped seamlessly into the role of the concerned husband.“Sorry about this,” he said with an apologetic smile that would've fooled almost anyone who didn't know him. “As you can see, my wife has had a little too much to drink tonight, and she's having trouble standing, so I was trying to get her back into the room.”“No.”The wor

Evelyn's POVThe security guard looked completely stuck.For several seconds he said nothing, his gaze shifting uncertainly between Sebastian and me as though he were desperately searching for a version of events that would allow him to leave without making a difficult decision.Sebastian solved the problem for him.A small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.Then he gave the guard a subtle look.The kind of look that men exchanged when they wanted a situation quietly wrapped up.The guard sighed.Not dramatically.Just tiredly.As though this had become far more complicated than he'd expected when he stepped off the elevator.Then he slid my business card into his pocket.“Understood.”His voice returned to its professional tone.“If you'd like to file a formal complaint, please come to the security office tomorrow and we'll help document everything properly.”I stared at him.He continued.“Tonight emotions are running high. I think everyone should go back to their rooms and
