Chapter 69
Cameron
Lenora is asleep. Well — everyone is, really. The soft hum of the jet and the dim cabin lighting have turned the entire space into a floating cocoon.
I glance down at the work on my laptop, pretending for a few minutes that I care about quarterly projections and expansion forecasts. I don't. With a sigh, I pinch the bridge of my nose, close the laptop, and set it aside.
Truth is, I can't sleep. Not because of discomfort, or stress, or even the time difference. No — it's because I'm coming to terms with something entirely new.
A desire I didn't know I had.
Seeing Lenora with that little girl did something to me. Something I didn't expect.
It wasn't just cute. It wasn't just endearing. It was… dangerous, in the way a new longing can be.
