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.

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 POV“Julian?” I whispered again, with my voice trembling slightly.The tension was thick as he sat completely rigid beside me, with his bare chest heaving in desperate breaths. Swallowing hard, I reached out a hand, with my fingers shaking as I tried to touch his arm to bring him back to the present.The moment my fingertips brushed against his skin, Julian flinched violently away from me, his bloodshot eyes snapping toward me with a wild, unhinged expression, like he was prepared to attack me.My heart broke at the sight and, instead of pulling away, I understood.“Julian, hey... look at me,” I said softly as I forced myself to move closer despite his defensive posture, and I deliberately kept my hands ope

Savannah’s POVThe sound right outside our window at such an ungodly hour while we were making out was all it took to shatter the mood and snap me back to the present. One second I had been dissolving into him, the next, I was sitting in the dark with my heart in my throat.We pulled apart in pure shock as thousands of thoughts began to run through my mind, none of them good. Julian recovered faster, immediately leaving the bed and marching toward the window in long strides. I held my breath, imagining everything I didn’t want to be true, as he gripped the edge of the blinds and yanked them open.I sat upright on the mattress, with my hands trembling violently as I hastily pulled the hem of my now wrinkled nightshirt back down over my chest. My heart was hammering so hard against my ribs that I felt dizzy, but my eyes were gl

Savannah’s POVAs we watched her walk and come to a stop in front of us, we stood like we were in some kind of trance, staring at her, neither of us able to say a word.She adjusted the large bowl in her arms and looked at both of us with her smile still intact. In fact, it had grown even wider.“Is everything alright out here, guys?” Fiona asked, when she realized something wasn’t quite right. Her smile slowly faded, a look of seriousness replacing it. “You look like you’re tracking a pack of wolves. Did something happen to your garden?”I stepped forward, dusting the sand off my hands, trying to act normal and push my disturbing thoughts to the back of my mind because the last thing I wanted was for her to think something was wrong with us. I forced
