Afterward, she changed into something comfortable, a soft sweater and leggings, and grabbed a quick bite to eat. The silence of the room was almost too much for her, but she welcomed it, appreciating the time to herself.
It wasn't long before she heard a soft knock on the door.
Her heart gave a small flutter.
She smiled, guessing who it was. Ian had mentioned he would be flying in today. Despite everything that had happened on set, there was something calming about his presence.
He had always been her constant—a safe space in the midst of all the chaos.
When she opened the door, she found him standing there, holding a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers. His smile was wide and warm, his eyes sparkling with affection.
"Surprise! Did you miss me?" Ian asked playfully, his voice full of the familiar charm she'd always adored.
Nicole couldn't help but smile. She stepped aside to let him in. His presence was like a balm to her weary mind.
