Chapter Twelve

The clicking of the keyboard keys as Mark typed was the only sound in his otherwise silent office, and in a way, that constant click was comforting. It kept his mind off other things.

Things like Daisy, and the way she made him feel, and how he should be distancing himself from her because she wasn’t what he wanted in a partner, if he even wanted a partner, and how the two of them together made no sense. And as if all that weren’t enough of a dose of cold, hard reality there was the fact that she was constantly running from him.

And he kept chasing her.

There was no doubt she was a runner, and no matter what happened between them, or how far they took this thing they had going between them, her first instinct would be to run…and he would always be the one chasing her. Over and over again.

Ever since Tina died, he’d been sure to make every decision based on what was in Ginny’s best interests. To not let his heart rule him, like it had with Tina. Cold, hard logic was his friend when it came to his judgment. Logic dictated he take the few nights he’d had with her and let them be a happy memory. It also said he should stop chasing her when she clearly didn’t want to be caught. She wasn’t the woman for him because the woman he was supposed to spend the rest of his life with was dead. All he had now was Ginny, and his logic. His smart choices.

Being with Daisy? It wasn’t smart.

It was catastrophic.

His phone rang, and he glanced down at it. It was his mother. She’d been an angel ever since he’d been widowed. She watched Ginny for him so he didn’t have to pay for childcare, and was 100 percent supportive of whatever he needed. Her only fault was she kept pushing him to date again. To find Ginny a new mom. She didn’t need a new mom. She had him. And he had her. Bringing in someone else would only mess up their dynamic…

And break their hearts when it ended.

He picked up the phone, slid the answer icon to the right, and rested it on his ear. “Hello?”

“Hello, dear. How’s work going?”

“Good. I’m almost finished. Should only be another half hour or so.” He hit enter and stared at the report on the Walker case he’d just wrapped up. It was the last thing he had to do, and then he was out of here. Sighing, he clicked on the Amazon window he’d had open in the background. As he stared at the book he’d been checking out, he could hear Elsa in the background, singing about letting go. He knew that damn song by heart. Maybe Elsa had a point. Maybe he needed to let it go a little bit. “Is everything okay with Ginny?”

“Yes, but she wants to go see that movie with the birds. It’s showing soon, so I was wondering if you’d mind me taking her?” She paused.
