She reached a hand out to hiers around the back of his neck and then letting her fingers co this She’d promised herself that whatever they’d shared was over It was best to keep things siht now Not at all

In this hts of reason had totally escaped her She was caught up in co Enzo and perhaps herself, too Because as ht if the estate was sold, the thought of losing her ho memories of the past when she didn’t have a home

But here in the fading sun with Enzo kissing her, the pain of the past and the worry of the future didn’t matter so much All that mattered in this moment were he and she

As their kiss intensified, she felt as though she were floating above the ground She leaned back against the blanket, drawing him with her He followed her until her back was pressed upon the blanket He leaned over her, giving her his full attention—oh, what attention

A whinny followed by the pounding of hooves caused Enzo to pull aith a frustrated groan He stared over her shoulder, in the direction of Emperor

“Is so?” she asked

“Doesn’t appear to be E bored” Enzo sat back and held out a hand to help her up When she was fully upright, he said, “Sylvie, I’ve decided not to sell the estate I tried to phone the buyer, but I wasn’t able to reach him I’ll tell him when he arrives tomorrow”

Sylvie shook her head “Don’t do it”

“What’s that supposed to n to convince me to call off the sale?”

“Would you have changed youthe estate if there wasn’t a baby?”

Enzo averted his gaze and remained silent

That was all the answer she needed As hard as she’d tried to remind him what this estate meant to hi for her to do

“You should sell the estate” Speaking these words was like an out-of-body experience for her “It’s what you intended to do all along I don’t want you to keep it and later blame me or the baby because you feel trapped here”

Enzo was silent for aher words “And if I do sell the place, where will you go?”

“I’ that apartment above the florist”
