Chapter 0358

It’s been six months since that day, and saying I’m happy would be an understatement. Christine was sentenced to a psych hospital for life, but she mysteriously died after a couple of weeks there. Her uncle was never found, but word is he was killed, and his body was fed to crocodiles. Both cases had Reaper written all over them, but for some reason, it didn’t bother me.

These past few months, Rowan has taught me what happiness is. My heart has grown and flourished in his care, and I don’t regret taking a leap and giving him a chance.

I could go on and on about how happy I am, but words won’t even do justice to what I’m feeling. Each day I count my blessings, and each day I realize it’s possible to fall more and more in love with someone you’re already in love with.

He’s filled my life with joy, happiness, and peace. Something I never thought possible.

I look back, and I’m so grateful for the journey. Of course, things aren’t perfect, but he’s patient with me, and therapy, both individual and couple, has helped a lot. Something still comes up once in a while, and he sometimes does something that pisses me off, but we’ve learned to work it out. 4

This was needed. I know some may not understand, but I think all the pain both of us have been through was meant to bring us to where we are now. Everything happens for a reason, and our time wasn’t back then, but now. We both needed to grow up and grow into our feelings before making something out of them.

We both needed to let go of resentments and pain. We both needed to be in a healthy space for us to flourish. Where we are now is conducive for our relationship to grow. I don’t think that would have been the case had we tried this

years ago.

I also realized that me being with Ethan and him being with Emma also helped. To a point, it showed us our true feelings. Something that we’d both tried hiding and burying. With Emma, he learned that his love for her was dead and that he actually wanted me. With Ethan, I learned that my heart will always want Rowan, despite what he did. 2

It also helped me get out there. I never got the chance to explore or date other men. It proved to me that I didn’t love Rowan because he’s the only man I’ve known. It proved that I wanted him because I truly loved him.

“Are you ready?” His voice makes me jump, since I’ve been lost in thought.

“You scared me.” I turn towards him.

He wraps his hands around my waist and pulls me to him before kissing the breath out of me. For a moment, I think about abandoning our plans, but this is something that he’s been planning for a while.
