Chapter 71 - Frighteningly Real

Julian’s POVThe first thing I noticed as I opened my eyes was the warmth that surrounded me despite the open AC. It settled around me like a quiet reminder that the chaos of last night had finally loosened its grip, allowing me to think straight after everything that happened.For several long moments, I stayed completely still, letting my senses return one by one. The room was quiet except for the faint chirping of birds somewhere beyond the farmhouse windows.Then I felt her, and that was all the reminder that I needed that last night wasn’t just a dream.Savannah was curled against my side, her head tucked beneath my chin, her hand resting lightly against my chest. Her breathing was slow and even, the kind of peaceful rhythm that only came fr

Chapter 72 - Quietly Rebuilding

Savannah’s POVThe soreness between my legs reminded me of last night. It wasn’t unbearable, but it was enough to make me uncomfortable while shifting beneath the blankets. Every small movement reminded me of the reality of what had happened, and my cheeks warmed instantly.For several long seconds, I stared at the wooden ceiling above me while memories returned in scattered pieces. The herbal tea. The unbearable heat. Julian holding me. His gentle voice whenever panic crept in. His reassuring smile each time I hesitated. His patience, steady, unwavering, almost impossible to believe.And then everything that followed. I bit my bottom lip as I forced myself not to think as much as I was about it, and yet, that felt almost impossible for me to do.I squeezed my eyes shut, feeling a

Chapter 73 - Trying Not to Hurt

Julian’s POVI had never appreciated the sound of a coffee machine before. Yet this morning, I found myself staring at the steaming mug in front of me as though it held the answers to every question running through my head.It didn’t.The kitchen was unusually quiet. Mrs. Willy had already gone outside with a basket tucked beneath her arm, and Mr. Willy was speaking to a couple of ranch hands near the barn. The familiar rumble of tractors starting drifted through the open windows.I barely noticed any of it, because my thoughts refused to leave the bedroom upstairs.Savannah.I rubbed a hand across my jaw and took a slow sip of coffee, letting the warmth settle. I had handled every

Chapter 74 - You're an Idiot

Savannah’s POVI stared at him, unable to speak as his words settled over me. The anger that had been carrying me through the last several minutes faltered, replaced by a stunned realization I had not expected.He genuinely believed I regretted last night. Of all the explanations I had prepared myself for, him getting what he wanted, him changing his mind, or him realizing he didn’t actually like me, not once had this crossed my mind.Julian Montgomery had pulled away because he thought he was protecting me.“You thought I regretted it?” I whispered, disbelief threading through every syllable. “Have you lost your mind?”He nodded once. “I didn’t know what you were feeling. And maybe so, but I was wor

Chapter 75 - Out Here

Julian’s POVIf someone had told me a month ago that I would willingly spend my morning leaning against a fence instead of sitting behind a desk in Seattle, I would have dismissed the idea without hesitation. Yet now, standing beneath the wide stretch of sky with the scent of fresh earth surrounding me, I could not imagine being anywhere else.The ranch had become familiar in a way I never expected. It was not quiet because it lacked noise, but because every sound had settled into a rhythm I had grown used to. The distant rumble of tractors, the horses calling from their paddocks, and the chatter of ranch hands preparing for another day’s work no longer felt foreign. They felt like part of a world I had somehow slipped into without realizing it.The thought should have unsettled me, but instead it settled warmly inside my chest.

Chapter 76 - No One Watching

Savannah’s POVIf someone had told me that the best way to spend our last full day before heading home involved doing absolutely nothing, I would have laughed without hesitation.There were always things to do on the ranch. Animals needed feeding, fences needed checking, crops needed attention, and my father could somehow find work even when everyone else insisted there was none left.Yet somehow, Julian and I had escaped all of it.I was curled up on the couch beside him with a thick blanket pulled over both of us, my legs tucked comfortably beneath me while an old movie played on the television. At least, I assumed it was an old movie, because I had not paid attention to a single scene in the past twenty minutes.Julian had one arm stretch

Chapter 77 - Rewired

Julian’s POVThe city felt louder than I remembered. It wasn’t that Seattle had changed while we were away.The traffic was still relentless, the buildings still stretched toward the sky, and the streets were still crowded with people moving as though they had somewhere urgent to be. The problem was me. I had gotten used to a different kind of noise. The ranch had rewired something in me. Standing in the middle of Seattle traffic, I could feel it trying to wire me back.The ranch had never been silent, but its sounds had blended into something steady and familiar. There were cattle calling from the fields, tractors rumbling in the distance, horses shifting in their stalls, workers shouting instructions, and Savannah arguing with someone at least once every few hours. It was noise, but it was gentle. It was human. It was ours.

Chapter 78 - Suits and Old Friends

Julian’s POVBy the time I walked into the conference room, a small, stubborn part of me was already regretting that I had left Savannah alone in the apartment. It had nothing to do with the meeting itself; I had attended enough boardrooms in my life to know how to switch everything else off the second I entered a room.Today, for some ridiculous reason, a piece of my attention remained several floors away with a stubborn blonde who had looked far too disappointed when I told her I had to leave.I checked my phone once before sliding it into my pocket and felt a brief, useless relief when there were no messages. That relief was quickly replaced by the familiar, prickly tension that arrived whenever I walked into a room full of people who expected me to have answers.“Look who finally decided to remember he owns a company,” Leon said from the far end of the table, sprawled in a leather chair and looking far too pleased with himself. “I genuinely started believing that you were starting

Chapter 79 - Call Me When You Can

Savannah’s POVBy the time Julian had been gone for almost two hours, I had officially run out of things to do. I tried the television first, but nothing held my attention; the shows blurred into a meaningless hum while my thoughts kept drifting back to the empty space beside me.I wandered through the apartment, opened the refrigerator three times without wanting anything, and stood at the windows long enough to convince myself I was looking at the view and not avoiding the silence.Seattle was beautiful in a way that had nothing to do with the ranch. There were no endless fields or cattle on the horizon and not enough open sky to breathe the way I did back home, but the city had its own pulse. Cars streamed through the streets below and pedestrians moved with purpose on the sidewalks.

Chapter 80 - The Problem Is Perception

Julian’s POVMy phone vibrated against the conference table for the third time, and for the third time I ignored it.There were many documents spread across the table, and after nearly three hours of parsing financial reports, investor concerns, pending contracts, and the legal mess that had landed on my desk, I couldn’t afford to lose focus every few minutes.The phone stopped ringing. I tried to focus on the spreadsheet Arya had placed before me, wondering why investors suddenly wanted confirmation of where our capital came from. Then the phone started vibrating again.Savannah.I knew I should answer, but if I picked up now I’d spend the rest of the meeting thinking about her instead of the problem at hand.I’d talk to her when I got home, and take the time to explain properly.I declined the call, switched the phone to airplane mode and placed it facedown on the table. Leon glanced up from his laptop and raised an eyebrow.“Trouble at home?” he asked.“No,” I said, giving him a wa
