Chapter 15: A New Beginning
It had been a week.
A week of silent thinking, of pacing the polished marble floors of her spacious, luxurious apartment, high above the noise of Manhattan. Cassidy had thought about everything, about the child growing inside her, about Zeke, and most of all, about herself. What kind of life she wanted. What kind of life she needed.
She’d always dreamed of living somewhere quiet. A small village nestled between mountains and trees, where the air smelled clean and the silence wasn’t suffocating. Somewhere far from New York. Far from everything.
Switzerland. That name kept calling to her.
But before she could disappear, she needed help. And there was only one person in the world she trusted.
Cassidy picked up her phone and called her sister.
"Cass?" Georgia’s voice lit up immediately. "Wow! We just saw each other not long ago and I already miss you."
Cassidy smiled faintly. "Miss you too."
"How are you?" Georgia asked warmly.
"I’m okay," Cassidy replied. "How about you? Did your surprise for Thiego go well?"
Georgia laughed. "He was over the moon! Finding out I’m pregnant again totally melted him. But now he’s being overly protective. I’m barely two months in and he treats me like I’m made of glass."
