Chapter Eight

A week later, Callie was sitting in her office at four o’clock on a Friday, drumming her fingers against her desk as she stared down at her cell phone. She’d spent the last fifteen minutes debating whether or not she should call Brendan and ask him if he was doing anything tonight, and she was no closer to making a decision than she had been since she’d started the internal conversation in her head.

She hadn’t heard from him, or at least not on a personal level, since the night he’d taken her to bed and made hot, kinky, passionate love to her, the way she’d secretly always dreamed of but been too afraid to ask for. He’d already left by the time she’d woken up that morning, leaving behind a signed copy of the contract and an origami rose.

She’d taken the contract to her office to sign and fax that morning, and left the rose by her bedside table, which she’d stared at every night before she went to bed. It was the only reason she wasn’t completely furious with him; origami roses had been another tradition of his; whenever they’d been together, he would often leave her love notes, just for fun, that were wrapped up into an origami rose. She would delight in unfurling his creations carefully so she could read what was inside, and then would always try to fold the paper back into place. She’d only succeeded doing so a handful of times; crafts had never been her thing, though strangely Brendan took to them like water. He loved to use his hands to make things, which she supposed was why he was such a good guitarist.

She wasn’t sure if she hadn’t opened the flower because she was afraid to damage it, or because she was afraid to know what he’d written inside it.

So what, did you think he was going to write you some nasty note and dress it up with an origami flower? A voice inside her head snapped. After everything the two of you opened up to each other about that night? Get a grip, girl.

Callie sighed. That was the problem. She couldn’t seem to get a grip. Not where Brendan was concerned.

“Hellooooooo!” Lucinda’s voice rang out, distracting Callie from her dilemma. Looking up, her eyes widened as her assistant sailed into her office with a huge bouquet of flowers and a large box wrapped in blue gift paper and tied with what looked very much like a satin bow. “Special delivery for one Callie Richardson, A.K.A., extremely lucky woman!!!”

“Oh my God.” Callie’s jaw dropped as she slowly rose from her seat. “Lucinda, what on earth…?”

“Please,” Lucinda scoffed, setting the package onto the table and placing the bouquet next to it, which had already been arranged and set in an equally huge crystal vase, “Don’t even act like you’re surprised. There’s only one person this could possibly be from, and I can tell the way you’ve been looking at your phone all week that you’ve been dying to see him.
