I’m lying in bed, staring at my phone. The moment I turn it back on, it immediately chirps several times with new texts. I shouldn’t read them. I should delete them and move forward. But my curiosity gets the best of me, and before I can stop myself, I’m clicking on the thread to read the messages.

Landon: Yes, it was an amazing night… and morning. And it will be happening again. Soon.

Landon: I’m not going to let you push me away.

Landon: Either you’ve turned your reads off or you’re ignoring me.

Landon: I’m giving you until tonight at 10:00 to respond and then I’m taking matters into my own hands.

Landon: T- two hours

Landon: T- one hour

Landon: T- thirty minutes

Landon: OMW!

Holy shit! I glance at the clock on my phone. It’s three minutes till ten o’clock. There’s no way he’s going to show up here, right? He’s just messing with me. As my fingers fly across the keyboard on my phone, there’s a tapping sound on my window.

I drop my phone onto the bed and then run over to the window, where I find Landon grinning cockily at me.

“What the hell are you doing here?” I whisper-shout once I lift the window up.

“I warned you.” He shrugs nonchalantly.

“You can’t just show up here. What if my kids were in my room?”

“Your blinds are open and I saw you in there alone before I made my presence known. I warned you I wasn’t going to let this go.”

“There’s nothing to let go,” I argue. “We had a great night—”

“And morning.”

“And morning… before my ex-husband showed up with my kids and we almost got caught.”

“So, we’ll be more careful,” Landon says.

“It’s not about that.” I release a harsh breath and sit on my reading bench. “Our lives are just so different. I’m a divorced, single mom and you have the entire world at your fingertips. You don’t need to be weighed down by my baggage. You date models and fly on jets to award shows. You were the freaking MVP and named the Most Eligible Bachelor for like four years in a row. I was awarded PTA mom of the month. I bake cookies for fundraisers and stay up late sewing costumes for shows. And let’s not even get into the fact my ex-husband is a selfish asshole who will probably make our lives a living hell once he finds out about us.” I take in a deep breath before I pass out and Landon chuckles.

“You all done now?” he asks with a smirk. “Get it out of your system?”

“Umm…” I’m not sure what to say to that.

“Are you done?” he repeats.

“Umm… I guess,” I say, confused.

“Good. Now it’s my turn.” He steps closer to the window that’s separating us. “Everything you’ve read about me online isn’t all that I am. It’s who I let the media see. My life is filled with layers, and for years, I only allowed everyone to see what’s on the top layer. But you…” He locks his eyes with mine.
