#Chapter 116- Trying To Be What?!

Fiona Falling apart in Ethan’s arms is easy. Too easy, honestly. The warmth he provides naturally makes me want to sink into him and forget everything that’s around us. The weight of his arms around me increases the sense of security, letting me know nothing could breach his protection. His whispered words calm the rattled and sad little girl inside. “I’ve got you,” he murmurs, pressing the millionth kiss to my temple. My fingers tighten in his shirt as I lift my head, finally seeing the soaked cotton beneath me. “I’m sorry about your shirt,” I mumble, sniffling. “And about ruining dinner. I shouldn’t have answered the call.” Shaking his head, Ethan cups my cheeks tenderly, wiping the last remnants of my tears away as he looks into my eyes. The soft concern in his eyes nearly melts my battered heart. “I understand family trouble, and from what I heard, none of this is your fault,” he says. The supportive smile that pulls at his lips makes my stomach tighten with guilt.
