“It was survival.”
Daniel physically folded over laughing.
“Oh my God.”
“He didn’t even react properly!” I complained. “He just laughed at me.”
“That’s because you’re basically a tiny angry cat.”
“I am not.”
“You literally bit your billionaire boyfriend.”
I buried my face into my hands dramatically.
“I’m resigning.”
Daniel still couldn’t stop laughing.
Then suddenly his expression softened slightly.
“But seriously though,” he said quieter now. “Hong Kong looked good on you.”
I blinked softly before looking back up.
“What?”
“You look happier.”
The words settled quietly between us.
And honestly?
Daniel wasn’t wrong.
Something inside me had changed after Hong Kong.
I felt lighter somehow.
Softer.
Like I could finally breathe properly again.
A small smile tugged at my lip
