Chapter 19

Dana finally reached her apartment, and found herself afraid to unlock the door and go in.

She was drained. She’d spent all weekend fretting and turning herself in circles, worrying over what she was going to say to Andrew. That had been quite enough to leave her exhausted by the time she had to wake up for work on Monday—there was really no need to add in the drama with Louis Marcel and the train. Her brain would have been a mess all day if that had been the end of it.

But she could hardly believe what Andrew had said on top of it all. When he came to see her that morning at her office, Dana had thought, just for a crazy moment, that maybe their kiss wasn’t a drunk mistake. When she’d stood with Andrew today, she’d felt something new and thrilling, something like chemistry between them. For a heartbeat, she’d even thought that maybe what they needed was to try that kiss again, just to check.

He must have stormed off to confront Marcel after that. It only made sense, with everything that happened later after work. What Marcel had said to him, Dana could only guess, but it had poisoned Andrew’s mind.

How could he actually believe she’d been hitting on Marcel?

Dana leaned her forehead against the frame of her front door. All she wanted was to walk in and crawl into bed. Get some rest, maybe even forget a little of the heartache she carried with her. But she’d promised Maya an explanation, and Dana doubted her sister would have the patience to wait until tomorrow.

So tired… Dana dug through her purse for her keys. She could just knock and have Maya unlock it for her, but even another minute of peace was worth the delay.

She turned the keys in the lock, and sighed. She’d held back tears all the way home. She would end up crying if she had to explain things to Maya, but she would just have to deal with it. Dana opened her front door.

Between her living room and kitchen, Andrew Poole was standing, arms crossed, talking to her sister. He looked like he had come here straight from the office. Maya looked about ready to leave for work at the restaurant. Both of them turned to look at Dana, who quite forgot everything and stood stock still in the open doorway for a minute too long. Maya put her hands on her hips.

“Dana, Mr. Poole has some things to say to you. Close the door—come here.”

Her arm moved itself to obey, shutting the front door and moving robotically to turn the lock. What was Andrew doing here?

Maya had her arms crossed and glared up at Andrew. “Well, go on.”

He looked down at her, hesitant, then turned to Dana. “Sorry.”

Maya smacked his arm admonishingly. Andrew cringed.

“I’m sorry for what I said, about Marcel,” he added. Andrew looked terribly uncomfortable, and Dana couldn’t blame him. Maya looked ready to burn him with her eyes.

“Maya,” Dana croaked.
