Adrian's grip tightened around the steering wheel. "Then I'll find him." I looked at him. "You say that as if you're certain." "I am." "Why?" He finally looked at me. "Because I promised you." Something inside my chest tightened. He had started this marriage with rules. Six months. No feelings. No complications. No love.
