Chapter 75

• Cynthia woke up like she always did, but something felt different. The air was fresher, lighter. Her body felt full of energy, and her heart beat with so much purpose. The morning light streamed gently through her curtains, bathing the room in a golden glow. But none of that compared to the fire inside her. The discovery she made the night before sparked something in her, something strong and unstoppable.
• Her mind went back to last night.
• After that moment with Ken and the quiet closeness and the emotions they shared, he fell asleep on the bed. She softly pulled the throw blanket over him, brushing his hair from his face. She stood there watching him for a long while, taking in the peace on his face. There was no tension in his brows, rest. For once, he looked like a man free from worries.
