“Can I come in?” she asked sweetly.

“Y-yeah, sure.”

Sade stepped inside and headed straight for his room.

His heart palpitated as he made his way over to her. “Don’t play with my emotions, Day. Are you sure about this?”

With a nod and a giggle, Sade wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m positive. I want to be with you and only you.”

“What about Dante?” he asked, pushing her toward the center of the bed. “I won’t share you or our baby with him.”

“You won’t have to. We can run away together and raise this baby ourselves. He doesn’t have to be involved.”

Finally. That’s all Atlas wanted to hear.

But it was only in his head. The sound of his phone ringing proved that.

Instead of answering right away, he sat up in bed and looked around the room—momentarily confused about where he was.

When he realized he was alone and had only hallucinated Sade’s presence, he picked up his phone and threw it across the room for ruining the dream that would probably never happen in his reality.
