Chapter 170

• SECRET LOVE
• We break away from the kiss, and we both struggle to catch some breath. He pulls me into arms and rests my head in his comfortable chest, allowing me to calm down slowly as he pats my back, his head buried in my hair.
• Too much of a reaction from a person who people think cannot love. And I bask in it all. I savor this moment like I have savored nothing else in my life except anything that has to do with my daughter. I lick my lips and smile as I swallow the remnants of his taste.
