#Chapter 105: A Sweet Escape

Almara’s POV

I offer to drive, but Bess insists I really ought to be in bedrest. I did just give birth after all. I don’t tell her I offered to drive not out of kindness, but because the adrenaline of seeing Arthur is making me jitter with nerves, and I don’t think I can sit still in the passenger seat.

I hope the camera's are capturing the building of sweat on his temple. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he's nervous. As he should be. He spent the last few decades ignoring me and now I have everyone's attention, I finally have his at

I’d be warmer if I was allowed to hike around and actually look for my husband, not just stand on guard in case he comes this way.“Don’t be so disappointed, sweetie. At least you got me.” Bess says.“I’m not disappointed. I’m just cold.” I tell her, hugging my arms tighter around

I hang back looking annoyed, which comes easily, as she walks us to the news anchor.Bess reaches the media team and the anchor peers at me through raised eyebrows. Bess is telling them that she just spoke to Roman and half the team is splitting up to another location. Bess agrees that the public have the right to know, but it doesn’t seem the anchorman is buying it.

He moves stealthily forward towards a tree that’s a few feet closer.He motions for my attention from the tree he’s crouched behind and holds up three fingers and points to another nearby tree, which means stay three paces behind and meet me at that tree.

I’ve already tried to make light talk and I’ve gotten nothing out of him. Not even his name.I’ve hardly gotten a good look at the guy. All I know is he’s tall, broad shouldered, and his burnt auburn hair is just beginning to gray on the temples. In other words, I might be able to take him in a fight.

Robbie?” I call out, hoping the sound of my distressed voice will cause Robbie to cry back.“Shhh,” a gentle voice says with
