CHAPTER 21: TRAVIS

I texted her before her interview, waited an hour, and then texted her again, but I haven’t heard back yet.

I glance at my messages just to double check I haven’t missed one from her.

Me: Good luck at the interview. You’re going to kill it.

Me: How did it go?

Nope. Me, me, and that’s it.

Maybe she’s still in the interview.

I try to convince myself of that all the way until nine o’clock after I get Harper down to bed.

She isn’t answering me, so I decide to give her a call. I almost think it’s going to hit voicemail when she picks up.

“Hi.”

“Hey. How was the interview?” I fight the instinct to question why she didn’t text me.

“Fine.” She sounds far away, and suddenly I’m worried I’ve done something wrong. I can’t imagine what, but it’s par for the course where I’m concerned.

“Just fine?” I ask.

She sighs. “I was distracted, so I’m not really sure how I came off.”

“Why were you distracted?”

“What’s Coax?” she asks, and a frisson of guilt travels along my spine. What the fuck is that? I have no reason to feel guilty, particularly given the fact that I haven’t been there in a long time.

Still, something strange hits my chest. She’s not supposed to know about Coax, yet she does.

“Coax?” I repeat.

“Yeah. What is it?”

I clear my throat. “It’s a club with an exorbitant membership fee.”

“What happens at this club?”

“Lots of things. The first floor is part night club, part business lounge. The second floor is essentially a strip club.”

“And that’s it?” she presses. “No other floors?”

“No, there’s a third floor.”

“What happens there?” she whispers.

“I feel like you already know if you’re asking me.”

“That’s what I thought,” she says, and she sounds…disappointed.

“I, uh…I haven’t been there in a long time.”

“Mm-hm,” she murmurs. “But you’re a member?”

“I am.”

“And you’ve had sex there?” she asks.

“I have. But I’ve also…not had sex there. I’ve gone and had a few drinks. I’ve gone to hang out. It’s a great club, and if you’re mad I didn’t tell you about it, I’d be happy to take you there and let you check it out for your—”

“No,” she says, interrupting me. “I’m not mad. I guess it’s just…” She sighs. “I can’t be angry about the things you did before we got together, and maybe we haven’t even been together long enough for you to have had a chance to tell me about this club. But it just confirms that you’re who I was afraid you were.”

“Who I was,” I correct her. “I’m not that guy anymore. I’m a father now.”

“And yet you’re still a member.”

“Because I haven’t had time to fucking cancel,” I say, my voice rising as I feel anger starting to pulse. “Are you seriously mad at me over something I did before we got together?”

“No. I’m not mad. I was just totally blindsided today when my sister was the one who told me she has a friend who knows somebody who slept with you at a sex club.”

“Oh, Jesus,” I mutter.
