Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 479

“What are you thinking about?” Gabriel asks while pulling me into the ballroom where others were dancing.

After dinner, there were speeches and then everyone was free to mingle and enjoy the party.

My eyes immediately spot Ava and Rowan. They looked like they were in their own little world as they glided across the floor. Their eyes held nothing but love for each other.

I want that. I want a man that looks at me like I’m his whole word and his sole purpose for being alive. I want to be the only woman that holds his heart. I want to be loved so deeply that it radiates off of him in waves.

My eyes move back to Gabriel as he pulls me closer. It isn’t appropriate to dance this close at such an event, but it seems that Gabriel doesn’t really care.

I stare at his eyes and I see nothing but adoration there. I also see what could possibly be love, but I am not sure. I can’t really say it is love when he hasn’t really told me that he loves me.

Can I really have what Rowan and Ava have if I give him a chance? Can we really build our relationship into something more if I decide to let go and take a deep dive into love once again? Is this really a second chance for us?

The questions keep ringing in my head even, aware that I haven’t really answered Gabriel’s question. I can’t really tell him what’s going on in my head, mainly because it involves him.

“Harper?”

“Sorry, I’m just thinking about Sierra” I lie, but was it really a lie when I've thought about her since yesterday?

“What about her? You don’t like her?” he asks, genuinely curious.

“It’s not that,” I breathe. “I do like her, but there is just something so familiar about her. It sounds crazy, but I feel like I know her from somewhere.”

I’ve been trying to piece up the puzzle whenever I am not thinking about Gabriel, but no matter what I do, I just can’t figure out what is so familiar about her.

“Maybe you’ve seen her before,” he states unhelpfully.

I didn’t want to talk about her much, so I just mumble, “Maybe.”

Gabriel leans down and pecks my lips right in the middle of the ballroom. “Now, tell me the real reason why you have that frown on your face. What are you really thinking about?”

How the hell did he know that I’d lied to him? How does he already know me so well?

Sighing, I let my head fall on his shoulder for a brief seconds before I pull back. “I’m just thinking about us.”
