He was there, in her bed, smiling that irrepressible smirk. Wade in all his glory was glorious and she desperately wanted to bask in that glory again. It would just be her luck that when she was presented with something she never knew she needed the thing she'd wanted would be dropped on her doorstep. And now she was faced with a choice and it sucked. She likes choices under normal circumstances. The choice between Manolo's and Jimmy Choo's. The choice between the snakeskin clutch and the deep purple shoulder bag.
But this, she didn't want this. She'd accepted that George had made his choice. It hurt, oh how it hurt, but she was moving on. The electricity that built between herself and Wade had finally released. And there was something there between them, something more than chemistry, something more than an itch to be scratched.
And she had to choose. She could take that step back, towards George, towards what she thought she'd wanted all along. There was certainty there and a safety. George was the dream. She couldn't deny that. Or, she could take that step forward. Wade was waiting there just like he'd always been. But here was fear. Zoe had never dealt with fear well. Running and hiding was the path of least resistance.
She just had to make a choice. Taking a deep breath, Zoe put one foot in front of the other until she was kneeling on the bed and Wade pulled her into his arms.
