CHAPTER 18

“Hey Sydney! Are you on your way to the office?”

Bethany Williams’ cheery voice puts a smile on my grouchy face.

“Hi Bethany, not yet. I want to get over to the apartment and see it in person. You know, do some measurements and check out the lighting.”

I’m sitting at the island in Drew’s massive kitchen, drinking a huge cup of coffee and staring at my exhausted reflection in the stainless steel wall oven. After taking the red eye into JFK early this morning, I needed a massive jolt of caffeine to wake up my brain.

This is a concession I made that I’m not very happy with. Drew adamantly insisted I stay at his place because there are enough bedrooms for Steve and Evan to stay with me so I never have to be alone. He doesn’t want me to have to call them to come over, not believing me when I said that I would call them and wouldn’t just jump in a cab by myself. I was pissed when he told me, but relented, not wanting to start another huge fight. Plus he’s right, I would just jump in a cab and not call Evan or Steve and I made a promise I intend to keep.

“Evan, I’m ready to leave,” I call out to the big man on the couch in the sitting area of the kitchen.

He gets up and puts his own coffee mug in the sink with a clatter. “Okay Miss Tannen. Bruce is in the garage waiting for us.” That was the other concession I made. Drew insisted that only Bruce was allowed to drive me anywhere and promptly put him on the flight with us back to New York.

I grab my bag and my phone and we head down to the garage. Less than ten minutes and six blocks later, we’re pulling up in front of a fourteen story brick building with a non-descript entrance.

“Bruce, we’ll be upstairs for a while. Did you want to come back?”

He turns to look at me in the back seat, embarrassment evident on his kind features. “I’m supposed to stay with you Sydney. I’ll be right out here.”

I roll my eyes and let Evan open the door for me. I’m sure Drew gave him hell after he let me walk from the Village Coffee Bar the day Adam Reynolds followed me home. There’s no way he’ll do that again.

The concierge takes my business card and checks a list at the desk.

“You may go right up ma’am. Elevator on the left, push PH1,” he says, nodding in the correct direction with a tilt of his head.

When the doors open on the penthouse level, I use an electric keypad to punch in the code that Bethany gave me to get into the apartment. As I open the door and step inside I’m so stunned by the beauty of the apartment that I stop short and Evan plows into my back, almost knocking me down.

Evan’s large hands grip my shoulders to steady me before I land on my backside.
