    Merlin noticed her distress and squeezed her hand. "Everything I've gone through made me who I am now. Destiny hasn't always been kind to me—until she led me to you." Della swallowed back the warring feelings in her chest. She wanted to believe it, to hold onto that small fragment of hope, but the encompassing doubt overshadowed it quickly.

    "My Schedule is currently full for next week. Can you hold the meeting back until the 8th of April?" I asked sternly. I looked up from all the paperwork I had piled on my desk.
