Isabella

Chapter 7

The next few days passed in a familiar, blissful haze, each moment a perfect mix of comfort and passion as Isabella found herself falling in love with Adrian all over again. It was as though, with his return, the world had become brighter, more vivid, and she was finally able to appreciate every little thing in life. The way the morning light filtered through their curtains, the smell of fresh coffee brewing in the kitchen, the feel of Adrian's arms around her as they sat together, content in each other’s company. She felt overwhelmingly grateful for everything—the gift of sight, the beauty of the world, and most of all, for him.

They spent their days together, cherishing each moment as though time had slowed down just for them. There were moments of pure simplicity—cooking meals side by side, laughing at silly jokes, or just sitting in the garden watching the sunset. Every glance he gave her, every touch, felt like a reminder of how much she had missed out on before. She marveled at the life they were building together, feeling like everything she’d ever wanted was finally within her reach.

Occasionally, the thought of starting a family flitted through her mind. She could imagine little ones running around, their laughter filling the house, completing the perfect picture of their life together. But each time, she gently pushed the thought away. There was a selfish part of her that wanted Adrian all to herself, at least for now. After all, she had just gotten him back, and she still couldn’t get enough of him. She wanted to savor this time, these moments, and cherish every second they had together.

It was in the quiet moments, when they lay together in bed at night or when they simply walked hand in hand through the park, that she realized how much she had been missing. And yet, here he was—her husband, her love, the man who had given her a second chance at life. The way he looked at her, the way he touched her, as if she were the center of his world—it filled her with a sense of completeness she hadn’t known she needed.

Isabella smiled to herself, heart swelling with love as she watched him from across the room. He had always been her rock, but now, more than ever, she felt as though he had given her more than just his heart—he had given her a new life, one filled with possibility, with love, and with endless moments to cherish. And for that, she would always be grateful.
