CHAPTER 17

COLTON

Justin’s shoulder brushed mine as we walked down the bustling Minneapolis airport. Compared to Cincinnati’s, this place was huge. A tram ran next to us but we had elected to walk. Out of the corner of my eyes I caught the smirk playing on Justin’s face and I rolled my eyes and nudged him. “You look like the cat got the cream.”

“That’s because I did,” Justin always had a quick wit but last night seemed to unlock his dirty mouth too. The earliest flight from Cincinnati to Minneapolis was early so we elected to drive up the night before and spend the night at the hotel near the airport. And what a night… memories flashed to my mind and I could feel heat rise on my cheeks.

I rolled my eyes again and Justin laughed. Our shoulders continued to brush as we made our way out of the airport. I looped my arm around Justin’s waist. He tensed at first, not used to the contact but relaxed quickly. I still couldn’t believe we were here. Not just in Minneapolis but here together. And it was all thanks to Riley. Now we just had to convince her that being together with us was worth it. She didn’t seem entirely opposed to the idea but it was a big jump from idea to reality. I just hoped we could convince her it would be worth the leap.

According to the address I found online, Riley’s office was thirty-five minutes away from the airport. I didn’t think Riley would be upset to see us but Justin suggested we get a car so she didn’t feel guilty about driving us around on the off chance I was wrong. I didn’t think that was the case though. I remembered the look of cautious hope on Riley’s face when I told her that this wasn’t over between us and the pretty blush that danced on her cheeks when she admitted Justin was attractive. It wasn’t going to be easy, no relationship was, but it would be worth it.

Forty-five minutes later, we were pulling into a parking lot for “Benton Offices.” The banner outside the elevators boasted several different size offices and co-working spaces available for rent. It was a neat idea and definitely something we didn’t have in Oakville. We rode the elevator to the third floor and exited into an empty lobby. A sign on the wall listed the businesses on the floor along with helpful arrows pointing which way to go. Justin squeezed my hand briefly as we turned the corner.

Riley’s office door was brightly decorated with posters of her books plastered over the windows. I recognized the titles of her best selling series, Meira Quinn, on a few of them. Above the posters, I could see the lights on inside. Good, she was here. I suppose if she wasn’t, I could always text her but I wanted to surprise her. It wasn’t just to see the look on her face but also to show her she was worth the effort.
