Days passed.
Ava tried to forget him.
She really did
She threw herself into work, exploring London, rebuilding herself piece by piece.
But somehow—Dominic kept appearing.
Wandering,Lingering in her mind.
A message.
A meeting request.
A "coincidental" encounter.
She needed to know
And then one evening, as rain poured over the city, Ava found herself standing outside his building again.
She hesitated.
Then knocked.
Dominic opened the door, surprised.
"Ava."
"I need your help."
He studied her carefully.
"And why would I give it to you?"
She took a deep breath.
"Because you want to."
Silence.
Deep quiet silence.
Then—
"Come in."
