A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 975

"What are you looking at?" Finnick flipped and rolled above her in one swift move, staring down at her. He had been awake for quite some time and had felt her piercing gaze.

Although he knew the delicate woman in his embrace had been feeling aggrieved partially because of him, he was happy to be in that position with her once again.

Hardship was part and parcel of life. It was unavoidable.

"Nothing." Vivian shook her head. Finnick watched as she got up from bed and began to get dressed. It's time to go back to work, she thought. Perhaps if I keep myself busy enough, I won't have the time to be drowning in my grief.

That was something she had personally experienced when she had left Finnick back then.

"Vivian, don't go to work. Rest at home." Finnick knew she was planning to go to work, but he didn't want her to give herself unnecessary pressure.

His heart ached, knowing that was her way of keeping herself functioning. Although he wished she wouldn't try to suppress her feelings, he knew that there was no way he could change her mind once she had a goal in sight.

Therefore, he stopped persuading her and silently hoped she could learn to be stronger. Even though it was equally difficult for him to forget about Larry, they needed to learn to move on with their lives.

After breakfast, Vivian intended to drive herself to work. When she walked to the front door, she saw a car parked before her; the window rolling down to reveal Finnick's face.

It was then she understood why he skipped breakfast. Finnick stared at the unmoving Vivian and honked the car, signaling for her to get in.
