STEP FORWARD
âYouâre sure youâre okay doing this today?â Hugh asked her the next day when he picked her up.
Not only was she going to meet some of his coworkers, but she was also spending the night at his house.
Sheâd been shocked heâd asked her and said sure. Ivy wouldnât be home. Her sister was spending most weekends with Brooks lately.
âYes,â she said. She had a bag on the couch and a pair of jean shorts on, a peach T-shirt and brown sandals.
Most of her summer shoes were boring neutral colors and she wouldnât wear something of her sisterâs out, not knowing if it might get ruined.
To a restaurant was one thing, a party at someoneâs house was another.
Hugh had shorts on too, tan ones with a navy T-shirt and sneakers. Running sneakers.
Sheâd seen the home gym at his place. The weights and the treadmill. Heâd never mentioned working out, but she was positive he did it in the mornings or at night before bed.
When he couldnât sleep.
She wasnât sure what was going on with him or why or if he was just someone who didnât need a lot of sleep.
She figured heâd bring it up when he wanted to. Or if he wanted to.
There was no use prying, but she wasnât going to be like his ex and not care either. Or turn a blind eye.
Something happened in Hughâs life and he wasnât cluing her in on it.
The fact that he asked her to stay the night was a step forward. One that she hadnât been sure she was ready to take but then told herself that everything was different with him.
In less than two months, she was pretty sure she was in love with the guy.
Everything Ivy had been picking on her about was true.
The air was fresher. The sun was brighter. Her wardrobe was even mirroring that.
That anticipation of seeing him when they werenât together and then ending up in bed.
Or maybe it was just an addiction to how he made her feel. What he brought out in her.
Things no man had ever been able to do in the bedroom with her.
âI canât even give you a heads up on what itâs going to be like today. Grant only asked me yesterday. He said he put the party together last minute and I hadnât seen him in two days.â
She knew he was out of the office on Wednesday and Thursday. Though he was working with Grant on cases, he had other cases alone too.
âItâs fine,â she said. âIâm adaptable. Remember, I was used to going into a lot of businesses and working offsite. Youâre the same. I know people think Iâm boring and quiet, but I can get along with just about anyone.â
âI know you can,â he said. âI donât think youâre boring or dull either. Stop saying that. I think you think it more than other people do.â
She shrugged. âMaybe youâre right.â
Sheâd always hated being put in a slot and yet she was the one that probably did it more than most.
