My Husband Is An Open Book
“You’re still awake? What are you thinking about?”
I stiffened and opened my eyes in a daze. When our gazes met, I realized that Zachary had been looking at me all along. At that moment, I felt, in a manner I could not explain, as though a corner of my heart were quietly collapsing, leaving me entirely defenseless.
His gaze was so steady and intent, and I could hear no trace of desire in his thoughts. In that instant, his concern felt wholly sincere.
I looked at him.
Perhaps it was the quiet of the night, or perhaps it was because I could perceive his thoughts and know what was on his mind. For the first time, I let down all my defenses.
