"How did that go?" I asked once we were safely back in the car.

"It… went." He looked out the window. It seemed as though a black mood had descended on him.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

He shrugged. "In some ways, it was better than I expected. He actually apologized for cutting me off."

"Wow! That's great, right?"

"Sort of."

I didn't want to pry, but I was overcome with curiosity. "Did he say he was going to the press about us?"

"No. He… can't. He doesn't want it getting out about me. What I've been doing for work." He hesitated. "He offered me a job, Lo. He said if I came to work for him and stay out of trouble, all would be forgiven. He wants me to work with the agency launching the new brand for his app."

"That's great!" Relief washed through me. Pierce Richards had never been my favorite person, but back when I'd known him, he'd at least been a caring father. He'd been preoccupied with my mother and let Kyle push him away, but Kyle had been tough back then. Still, I'd always felt that Pierce loved his son. Disinheriting him had just been the tough side of that love.

Kyle shook his head. "It's not great. He wants me to start tomorrow."

My heart sank a little. He's not coming back to LA with me. But I didn't let myself think about that. I quashed my disappointment and smiled. "That's okay. This is a great opportunity for you."

He looked at me then turned away. "I'm not ready to walk away just yet."

Hope and guilt mingled inside me. I wanted to hear what he was saying, but I knew he shouldn't say it. "Does Pierce want to you come work for him right now because he wants you away from me?"

He shrugged. "It doesn't matter. It's not gonna happen."

"Kyle—"

"Enough," he snapped. "I don't remember saying that I wanted committee approval."

I shut my mouth, hurt by his tone. If Pierce wanted Kyle to quit right now—and I was pretty sure that was exactly what he wanted—then Kyle had to do it. I had a feeling Pierce didn't offer second chances with much frequency; thirds were probably out of the question.

I had to convince Kyle to take the offer, and I only had a few hours to do it. Even if it meant a public relations disaster for me.

I could handle a public relations disaster.

Ruining Kyle's life? That was another matter altogether.
