Chapter 42 Never Give Up On You

• I woke up to the shrill sound of my phone ringing. My eyes drifted to Lara, curled up against me like she belonged there, her head tucked into my chest, her breath warm on my skin. She looked too peaceful, too perfect for this moment to be disturbed.
• Gently, I shifted her away, careful not to wake her. My hand reached for my phone, and my gaze caught the time—almost 5 a.m. On my wedding day.
