Chapter 45

• I was dazzled staring at Adrian. How on earth did he know my house? How did he know I was living here? I was startled, my chest tightened, and at that moment, I felt a sudden urge to be closer to his body, hug him closer to myself and be lost in those muscular arms of his.
• I needed that hug, that comfort he once offered. I wanted to be his Violet, even if just for a moment. As if reading my thoughts, one minute he was standing inches away from me, the next minute he pulled me into an embrace. His strong arm wrapping tightly around my back.
• The scent of his familiar cologne filled my senses, melting away my every defense. Though I was still shaken from the incident earlier, right now, I felt a strange relief. It was as if he was my heaven.
