“Seriously?” Letty asks, shocked.
“Yes,” I answer. “I went through my closet today just to be prepared, and there is nothing
date -worthy there. I didn’t even have a short little black dress.”
To be honest, this is surprising. I remember that one memory I had of Ethan. We went on a
date and I had a pretty tight red dress. Not that I was planning to wear it, but it wasn’t in
my closet. I had nothing but some pair of jeans and sundresses.
“Worry not, our dear friend, we will help you… In fact, I think we should go shopping,”
Corrine beamed in a sing–song voice.
That sounded exciting, but I couldn’t help but wonder about Iris. I didn’t want to bring her
along because we all know that shopping is a long and tiring process, but I also didn’t
want to leave her here.

It’s not that I didn’t trust Teresa, but I just didn’t feel comfortable leaving her with her. It
would have been okay if Noah or Rowan were around, but they weren’t.
“It’s about Iris, isn’t it?” Letty asks while searching my eyes.
Instead of answering, I just nod my head. I really wanted to go shopping. I’ve been cooped
up in this house for so long that it’s driving me crazy. Besides, I wanted this experience. I
never had girl friends growing up. No friends to go shopping with or talk about boys and
such stuff. This was all new, even though I know we’ve probably done this before, so I
wanted to
experience it.
“If it troubles you so much, I can lend you one of my dresses so that we can bring Iris with
us. We can always go shopping at a later date,” Corrine suggests, and I smile.
I’ve only interacted with these two a couple of times, but so far, I like them a lot. They’re
kind, lovely, and pretty great friends. No wonder I became friends with them.
“Thanks, but let me talk to Rowan first, and then we can figure something out.”
I stand up and leave them to have their drinks while I go upstairs. I’d left my phone there
since I rarely use it. I spot it on the bedside drawer immediately when I get there. Picking
it up, I dial Rowan’s number.
He picks up on the first ring, which just warms my heart. This is something I have noticed
since I woke up. Unlike béfore, when he would rarely take my calls, these days, he
answers on the first ring as if he were waiting and eager for my call.
“Hi darling, how’s your day? And have Corrine and Letty arrived yet?” His deep voice

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing him call me sweet names, especially when he
says it in his deep and sexy voice. There is just something about it that renders me weak

in the knees.
“Hi,” I squeak for some unknown reason. “It’s great, honestly. Those two are, honestly,
amazing. They even wanted to take me out shopping for tonight’s date.”
“Glad to hear that… Is the matter concerning shopping the reason you called? You do
know you don’t need my permission to go anywhere. Provided you have a bodyguard with
you, then I don’t mind.”
I never thought I would ever be in this position. I hated being followed around by a
bodyguard as if I were someone important, but I also understand that until they catch
whoever tried to kill me, then this is my life.
“No, that’s not the reason… I don’t want to take Iris with me, but I also don’t want to leave
her here with Teresa.”
He’s quiet for a while. I sit down on our bed as I wait for him to speak up. Maybe he could
give me a solution to my dilemma.
“How about you give me some time to come up with something?” He asks, and I nod,
forgetting that he couldn’t see me.
