it’s easy to settle back into Ransom’s arms and let the heat of the water keep soothing my aches. It probably shouldn’t be easy, considering who he is, but ‘shouldn’t’ stopped mattering a while ago. All of this is something I shouldn’t be doing. And yet, I feel so relaxed and happy in his embrace. For the first time in a long time, maybe in my whole life, I feel cared about. I just want to soak that up a little more.
