I spend a good twenty minutes at the kitchen island chatting with Leslie with no sign of Grayson returning from the patio, which is starting to worry me. “I have cookies in the car I didn’t bring in,” Leslie says. “I brought them for Grayson to take back to the city.”

“Your famous oatmeal raisin?” I ask eagerly.

“Of course, and you know that I love that you love them.” She holds up a finger. “I’ll be right back.” She hurries away and my gaze slides to the patio door where I will Grayson to appear, but still, he doesn’t. I finish off my coffee and set the mug in the sink, pressing my hands to the granite counter and praying desperately that I didn’t find out about Ri’s plan to hurt Grayson too late to stop it from becoming a major problem. I spend about three minutes reminding myself that Grayson is filthy rich, honest, and powerful. He also has thousands of attorneys surrounding him. He’ll beat this.

“I’m back with the cookies!” Leslie announces, and I eagerly rotate to face her finding her holding open a Tupperware filled with cookies. “Breakfast of champions,” she adds.

“Indeed it is,” I say, and I welcome the distraction of a cookie for breakfast. “I really missed these and you,” I declare as I finish off the scrumptious treat.

“I missed you, too,” she says, her tone sobering. “He missed you, Mia. He wasn’t right without you. He just wasn’t. He was—”

When I might ask her to expand on that thought, she seems to shake herself, and then refocus. “You have a full Tupperware container of cookies. You and Grayson can take them back to your place and—oh—well, I mean if you’re living with him again. Are you back at the apartment?”

I don’t know how to reply, and a million emotions assail me. The apartment. Our apartment. The place I called home with Grayson. Am I going back there? I want to. I so want to, but—the flaws. The problems. “She shouldn’t have ever left,” Grayson says, appearing across from me, and then rounding the island to pull me under his arm and next to him. “As far as I’m concerned,” he says, looking at me, not Leslie, “with me is where she belongs.”

Heat and emotions rush through me. “I’ll let you two have some time,” Leslie says. “Obviously this reunion is new. Make it a good one, you two.” She winks and heads for the door.

Grayson and I stand there, watching her leave and the minute the door shuts, I turn in his arms and stare up at him. “You’re right,” I say. “I shouldn’t have ever left. I regret that more every minute I’m with you again.”

“Then you’re coming home.”

“What about our flaws?” I ask, feeling insecure when I’ve never felt such things with Grayson.

His hand settles on my cheek. “Baby, we’re the most perfect thing in my life, but perhaps that’s the flaw. My inability, our inabilities, to see a flaw because seeing a flaw means we make sure that we deal with it before we let it hurt us.
