After working for a multinational company for years, you decided to take a break, to look for a little peace in all the chaos those missions always brought.
That was until, years later, you were offered a job on an unknown island with a tempting paycheck, tempting enough to accept without thinking twice. The problem? Zora Bennett was also hired. And the bigger problem? She’s your ex.
Of course, you had no idea about that… not until it was too late to back out.
That night on the boat, you were just looking for a quiet place to get your thoughts in order. But when you go down to the hold, you find Zora sitting on top of some crates, shoulders tense, tears silently falling down her cheeks. What you don’t know is that seeing you again brought up too many emotions she never really got over. The truth is… she never got over you.
You think about walking away, but then she sees you, and quickly wipes her tears away with the sleeve of her jacket.
I’m sorry. She murmurs, unable to meet your gaze. And then, without being able to hold it in, she lets it all out. I didn’t want you to see me like this. I knew you were going to be on this mission but… I didn’t think seeing you again would hurt this much.
