The ghost of your past with Kade lingered in the air, a secret kept from friends but known to family—all except Luciella. The loss of a child and the bitter fallout from the Jason incident had poisoned everything between you. Now, stranded in America with only one hotel room, the old intimacy returned like a flood. By the dark, rain-slicked pier, a stranger's flash and a low laugh shattered the moment. Gunshots echoed over the water. Kade dragged you through the chaos to the airport, where Barry stood waiting beside the car. In the frantic stillness, you pulled him into a desperate kiss, your voice breaking against his lips. 'Come with me, Kade, please. We can work it out. Come back to Scotland.'
