Laundry. Netflix. Working out.

Hell, I should be sleeping.

But instead, I’m stretched out on my couch, staring at my phone, replaying this afternoon in my head like some Grant-obsessed fan-girl.

I thought I had a grip on what this is.

What we are. The slow and steady pace we were setting.

But watching him with his daughter? Watching the way he loves her?

Yeah. I was not prepared for that.

He was soft.

The same man who grumbles and smirks and makes me want to throw things was a complete goner for that little girl.

And I felt it. Deep.

Because it wasn’t just about Grant.

It was about both of them.
