Mirabel had been abroad for three months.
During this time, she kept the curtains drawn tightly and often spent entire days lost in thought, sitting alone in her room.
She knew her low spirits were because of Fraser.
Even though she had removed him from her life, their past was deeply etched into her memory. He had become a habit she couldn’t easily break
Keely would invite her out for meals, and when Mirabel came across a dish she liked, she’d instinctively tum to the empty seat beside her and say, “Honey, this is delicious Could you recreate it at home?”
