♥ Jethro ♥
The door clicked softly behind Chloe as she left my office. The smell of her perfume lingered in my office, and it made me smile. Sara, the event organizer, had invited Chloe to join her for lunch. Chloe had hesitated, but it was clear that Sara was reaching out. Of course, Chloe didn’t want to leave me. I felt the same way, but I had encouraged her to go. We had already decided that we weren’t going to hide our relationship. Not anymore and not for anyone. We weren’t a secret, and nothing we were doing was wrong. But now, I was alone in silence, and the silence was so loud. I leaned back in my chair and stared up at the ceiling like maybe it had the answers I desperately needed. Jackson had already finished with all the legal documentation. It should have made me feel better.
