Chapter 41 Lume With Zara

• Two days later, the email arrived. Zara saw the subject line and her breath hitched. It was from Lumé Skin. She clicked it open, a knot of anticipation tightening in her stomach.
• The message was brief and to the point. They had reviewed her proposal. They understood her need for creative control. Her conditions had been approved.
• A gasp escaped her lips, a sound of pure, unadulterated relief and triumph. It was a victory won on her own terms, not handed to her on a silver platter. It felt solid, real. Leo had opened the door, but she had been the one to walk through it, to demand her own space inside.
