It’s been two weeks since I said goodbye to Malcolm, two long lonely weeks. The only bright spot has been the beach house listings Finley has been emailing me to check out for them. With work, and touring homes, my days are busy enough that I don’t think about him until I turn in for the night.

It’s crazy, but one week of sleeping beside Malcolm each night has rewired my brain. Without his warm bulky frame to curl up next to, I struggle to fall asleep, and even when I do sleep I toss and turn.

Two weeks of crap sleep are taking their toll. The only thing stopping me from collapsing into bed right now is wanting to tell Finley about the house I looked at today.

Sliding my thumb over the screen of my cell, I touch her name to call her.

“Guess who I talked to today.”

Despite my exhaustion, I grin to myself. “That’s a funny way to say hello cuz.”

Her huff is audible through the phone. “Hello. Now guess.”

Sinking down onto my bed, I kick off my shoes. “I have no idea. Besides, I’m the one who called you so I could tell you about a beach house.”

“You’re no fun.”

I flop back onto my pillows. “That’s not very nice.”

“Fine, I’ll just tell you. I talked to Paige. I’m not even going to ask you to guess who she talked to.”

Before she can finish her sentence, I sit up and breathe, “Malcolm.”

“See, you can guess.”

My heart starts pounding double time. “What’d he say to her?”

“Hehe. I knew you’d want to know.”

If I could strangle her long distance through my phone, I would. “Finley Elizabeth Re—Er Thompson, you spill right now.”

“He asked about you and if she knew when you might be coming back for a visit.”

Ugh. He has my number. Why couldn’t he call me himself to ask? I’ve been overthinking why I haven’t heard from him like a crazy person. It’s probably why I haven’t been sleeping.

“And,” she keeps going. “He asked her if she thought it was too soon to call you.”

“He thought waiting two weeks was too soon to call?” I blurt.

Her laughter greets me through the phone. “Guys are weird. Anyway, she told him to get off of his ass and call you already.”

Even I can crack a smile at that as I picture Paige bossing Malcolm around.

Getting to my feet, I start to pace. “Do you think he’ll call tonight?”

“He better. Now, tell me about this house.”

I stomp out of my room and into my kitchen.

Pressing my shoulder to the back of my phone to hold it in place, I pour myself a glass of wine. “How can I talk about a house when I’m freaking out over whether or not he’ll call.”

“You can’t control if he’ll call or not, so why not focus on something you can control and tell me all about this house.”

She makes a good point.

“All right. I’m opening my laptop right now and am emailing you the link so you can see all the pictures.
