Chapter 44 Waiting For Her

• Julian’s POV:
• After a while of telling Samantha more stories to help distract her mind, she fell asleep. Watching her breathing softly beside me, I could still feel the weight of her thoughts lingering in the room.
• The truth was, I couldn’t sleep either. Seeing that call from her ex on her phone had me uneasy. It wasn’t just the call—it was the look in her eyes, the way she seemed to drift somewhere far away. I couldn’t ignore the feeling that she hadn’t fully let go of him, that part of her was still tethered to her past.
