Aurelia Shaw realized Mason Nightshade was getting more and more clingy.
After she went inside, Mason didn't leave right away.
He leaned against the car door, lit a cigarette and smoked, watching the lights come on upstairs, a slender shadow pacing back and forth, and then some place in his heart just filled up.
The Major General's lips curved with a satisfied smile, his gaze locked on that graceful silhouette, unable to look away.
His woman was really beautiful.
Even her shadow was this beautiful.
...
Caspian Parker wasn't home.
The next morning, when Aurelia woke up and went downstairs, she finally saw Caspian.
Caspian looked at her, and his expression suddenly grew serious. He walked over in a few strides, stopped in front of her, and pulled her into his arms.
He was holding her very tightly.
Aurelia froze.
Her brother loved her, but he had never clung to her like this.
They hadn't seen each other for a few months; it shouldn't have made him miss her this much, right?
