My One Month Marriage
Page 31
‘Can I ask you something?’ he says.
‘Anything.’
‘Do you think we do too?’
I smile, my heart thuds a little faster, and as I go up on my tiptoes to kiss him, I realise that I know the answer to that.
‘Maybe we do.’
I know now what I should have seen before now. Ned was right to have concerns about Roger because there’s always been something more than just a professional relationship between us. And I want to find out exactly how much more is there.
Last time, a leap of faith resulted in a one month marriage that’s already over. But even so, right here and now, with Roger’s lips touching mine, I realise that I want to take another leap.
Dad, hey it’s Zoe. I’m about to fly again.
And this time, I don’t have a single worry about falling.
