With that approval, he’s immediately apparating onto her doorstep. He cannot wait another second to see her.

When can he see her again?

“I thought I was a good husband but I found out she spent our entire marriage having an affair with my father.” He sighed, feeling angry just from thinking about it.

“I didn’t even get that. I had to build myself back up from scratch. She even took my wand and my clothes.”

“Hm, I’m not sure lonely would quite cover it. My wife took me for everything.” He responded bitterly, but he quickly focused back on her again.

Boldly moving his hands to her hips, he pulled her tight against him. “Look at us, both divorced and at the same party.” He murmured, as if it hadn’t been planned.

after following her outside, he stood close enough for her to be able to feel his breath on the back of her neck. since he’d received the invitation to this party, he’d been curious about her.
