Chapter 29 The First Time We Met

• Catherine’s P.O.V
• I remember the first time I met Hunter clearly, because Xavier and I had just gotten married then, and he was still proud in that sharp, possessive way that made him keep his hand at the small of my back whenever we entered a room. We’d only been married about a year when he took me to that charity auction, all polished smiles and crystal glasses, that made me feel completely out of place.
• “Just smile, Cathy. It’s for a good cause.” Xavier had leaned down to murmur, clearly noticing my discomfort.
