Chapter Four

Five months later…

“Shit!” I ran through the crowd, desperately clawing past the people.

 My train was half an hour late and that was only after my boss fired me from my personal training job, since all my clients flirted with me, and when I declined their advances they complained resulting in my crappy day.

It was faint, but definitely there.

“Ah, Jaysus!” I mumbled. My accent was more perceptible because of my fatigue. My Pa was Irish. I got it from him, but I hid it with a slightly tinted Australian one.

Pushing open the door I made my way to the room with the lights, only to stop at the door in wonder.

A woman with beautiful red hair had Ash curled up in her arms, his face buried in her shoulder. She was rocking on her feet to The Naked and Famous, her eyes were closed her head resting on Ash’s.

I slowly pulled the big yellow door open, careful not to make a sound. I watched in fascination as she hummed along in a sweet voice, my heart fluttering for some reason.

Her eyes flew open.

I pressed a finger to my lip.
