Chapter 275

Edward's voice pulls me back to reality, the image of my beautiful, little boy immediately fading from my mind. My boy… Blinking away a sudden wave of tears fueled by an intense longing that I'm definitely not ready to even acknowledge just yet, I take a moment to compose myself before I'm able to meet my mate's questioning gaze. Deep inside, I feel a gentle tug on our bond and realize that Edward is trying to get a read on my emotions. "Sorry, I kind of zoned out there for a sec," I apologize, hoping to redirect his attention elsewhere.
