Chapter 49

• Finn’s POV
• The moment I stepped into the room and saw Scarlett, everything else fell away. There was no more anger, no lingering doubt — just the overwhelming need to be close to her. The way she looked at me, with her eyes soft and full of something I could only describe as love, sent a rush of relief coursing through my veins. We’d made it past the storm, and now, standing here, it felt like we were on the edge of something new, something beautiful.
• I reached out, my hand cupping her cheek as my thumb brushed across her lips. The softness of her skin against my fingers made my heart stutter. She leaned into my touch, her eyes fluttering shut for a moment, and I couldn’t hold back the smile tugging at my lips. It was a simple gesture, but it felt like everything I had been searching for — the reassurance that she was mine and I was hers.
