YOUR DARLING

AUTHOR’S NOTEOkay, I’ll admit it... I melted writing this chapter. There’s something terrifying about being seen when you’re used to hiding behind scars—physical or emotional. And Nirelle? She let someone see her. She let someone feed her. That’s growth, and that’s love.If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t beautiful enough, lovable enough, or even worthy of being called someone’s “darling,” I hope this chapter holds your heart gently.Please tell me—did you love this quiet intimacy or were you screaming at Mara to knock better? Comment below—I read every word.
