CHAPTER TEN

Dog Days

Lexi

It was raining today. And I had to go walk some dogs.

Stepping back from the window, I look down at my phone again. Grant is supposed to be here any moment. I didn’t have the heart to tell him thirty minutes ago that I’d gotten a call asking me to fill in for a sick dog walker at the pet boutique down the street. I couldn’t turn down the job. One, because the money was really good and two, because I couldn’t say no to the chance of getting furry cuddles today.

The first night without Luna in the apartment had been hard. It was too quiet. I’d make a joke or a killer observation about the show I was watching, and the apartment didn’t reply back. I know that sounds crazy, but I’m so used to saying everything that’s on my mind during a show that I’m still doing it – and expecting replies apparently. Grant and I had texted on and off last night, and those short, sweet messages had been a huge comfort. It was a strange feeling to have someone checking in on me, taking care of me from a distance, but I needed that attention yesterday. I’m better today, I felt stronger. I should pull back from needing him as much today.

Suuure.

My phone vibrates in my hand and I quickly respond, giving Grant my apartment number. This morning when he insisted he would pick me up for our…date?...I’d held back my apartment number when I gave him my address. A girl couldn’t be too careful, right? Though, thinking about it now, I bet not knowing won’t stop him from finding me. He probably has people who could track down all my information. That thought makes me feel a little weird.

The loud knock on the door makes me jump. Laughing at myself, I shuffle over and spy Grant through the peephole. Even in the distorted glass he looks gorgeous. The door opens on a whoosh of air and my smile widens when I spot his chest heaving.

“Did you take the stairs?”

“One of your elevators is broken. I didn’t want to wait.”

“One of the elevators is always broken.” He gives me a look of horror, like he can’t image using the stairs on a daily basis. “What? Come on, you can’t hate stairs. You’re like,” I give his body a general wave with my hand, “super-fit and should take them with no problem.”

“I don’t know anybody who doesn’t hate stairs. Doesn’t matter how fit you are, they always wind you.”

I nod, agreeing with his assessment. I am always huffing and puffing my way up the eight flights. Grant slips passed me by the door and enters the apartment, kicking his shoes off to the side and places his ballcap and a full canvas bag beside them. The bold white Toronto Sixers logo standing out.

“Do you really think that hat disguises you enough not to be recognized?”

“I haven’t been spotted yet.”

He begins to explore the apartment, walking slowly through the small, open space.
