Adrian.
I was happy when I heard from my private investigator.
In recent days, Scarlett has crossed my thoughts once or twice, even more than I can recall.
I missed the time she had been in my life. That era when I had control, when I was powerful. She knew how to be in the background and let me be me without causing a ruckus, just like Veronica.
I kept fidgeting with my cup of coffee as I thought about her. Where the hell could she be?
I had assumed that she was dead, that she had locked herself away. But the truth had now been made clear to me. The woman I thought to be deceased was holed up in a distant town, living her best life.
Knowing her well, there was no way she was going to stay hidden and build her life with a broken past. She shone wherever she went.
