Lausanne, Switzerland, December 21
“She’s lovely,” Lena remarked.
Finn glanced up from his phone. They’d finished the meeting a couple of minutes ago, and Peter had already scampered off to his room. Lena sat across from him in the small conference room the hotel had been more than happy to offer them. She pointed at his phone, where he’d been checking whether Iris had written anything else.
Finn put it away, guilt sinking in his stomach. “Sorry about that.” He cleared his throat. “We’re not, ah, together.”
Lena lifted a dark eyebrow. “Oh no? So you fly halfway around the world for random women?”
Groaning, Finn let his head fall back against the headrest of the comfortable leather office chair. “It’s complicated.”
“She’s the Iris, isn’t she? Your Iris?”
That brought him up short. He snapped his eyes open and frowned at Lena. “How do you know about her?”
She shrugged, the picture of serenity. “Did you think I wouldn’t do a background check on you before our first date? I figured she must have been a big part of your life back then.”
Finn opened his mouth, then closed it again. He and Lena had dated briefly several years ago, and after she’d dumped him—that seemed to be the theme in his life—they’d remained civil. It never hurt to be friendly with competition, and Lena’s tech empire was even more successful than his. She was incredibly smart and driven, and now she wanted to buy his company.
Finn groaned and rubbed his face with his hands. “I’m sorry.” He glanced at her—she was so perfectly poised, so in control of her life. “I’m going crazy,” he admitted. “I have no idea what I’m doing, and I keep thinking I’m on the verge of messing up again.”
Her lips tipped up in a small smile. “Well, she’d be mad not to fall for you.”
He grinned back. “Careful, Lena, that almost sounded kind.”
“Oh, don’t start.” She waved a manicured hand in the air. “You’re a different man now than you were when we dated, Finn. You’ve changed, and it has done you good.”
That surprised him. He still looked the same, apart from a gray hair or two, and his company was doing better than ever. “What do you mean?”
Lena shrugged and stood. “The Finn I knew would never have taken so much time off work to see after his family. Or any woman.”
“That’s…” He trailed off and swallowed. He wanted to claim it wasn’t true, that he’d always been more than ready to help his loved ones, but found he couldn’t. He hadn’t even known about his mother’s relapse until after it was much too late. And Iris had said much the same thing when she’d explained why she’d left him.
Lena offered him a sad smile. “It’s a good thing, you know. The change. Don’t waste it.”
Finn nodded, then shook her hand when she offered it. “Thanks. I, uh, I’ll think about your offer.”
It was more than generous, and selling his company would mean he would be free to move to the East Coast to spend time with his parents.
