**BOOK THREE IN THE UNCONDITIONALLY SERIES** IT'S BEST TO READ 'UNCONDITIONALLY' AND THEN 'IRREVOCABLY' FIRST.
*The darkest book in the Unconditionally series.*
Rohaan Rehan Tariq is now a detective, working to solve the most serious crimes. He has...
I pressed the button for the hot chocolate on the machine and waited for it to be prepared into the china cup. As I waited, I glanced towards the sea, inhaling deeply.
A few moments later, I sat back down on my chair, setting my hot chocolate onto the table. Rohaan was sipping his coffee, his gaze on the sea.
And suddenly, I felt bad. He was doing so much to help me through my grief, but he had the same grief as me. It was shared between us, but he was solely focusing on me. And often, those who hid their emotions well, were overlooked the most in hard times.
But how selfless he was to push back his grief, to help me through mine!
"You're allowed to think about yourself for once." I whispered.
His gaze moved towards me.
"We have a shared grief, so share what you feel with me." I placed my hand over his across the table.
He nodded slowly, before looking at me. "There's grief, of course there is. But this is my way of healing, by helping you heal."
I shook my head, smiling.
"What, you don't believe me?" He folded his arms across his chest, almost in disbelief.
It should be illegal for him to wear just a vest. I dropped my gaze to my cup, rather than stare endlessly at his biceps. "If you're ready, let's go to the beach." I stood up quickly.
"I have to go to the room quickly. Shall I meet you out there?"
"I...I don't know where to go." I hugged myself, uncertainly. "And how will you find me?"
He stood up. "Yamna, this is a resort. There's Wi-Fi even on the beach. I'll call you."
"Fine." I said. "I'll actually start exploring."
"Don't wander off too far. It's a foreign country." He teasingly winked at me.
I wrinkled my nose at him, before walking off. I heard him laugh behind me, and couldn't help smiling myself.

I walked around the resort, staying close to the beach because I couldn't tear my eyes away from the sea. The water was gorgeous. Subhan Allah!
