Chapter Twelve

Becca blinked away tears as she left Holden’s building. How could she have been so wrong about him? More importantly how had she dealt with his condescending bullshit for this long?

But mostly she felt like an idiot. Like she’d made this bed only to find that there was a broken spring in it.

Once safely in the hidden confines of her car, she allowed the tears to spill. With shaky hands she called Van. It rang and rang, but eventually went to voicemail. “Where are you, Van? I could use some sassy wit right now. Call me.”

She didn’t want to go home. There was still so much of Holden’s stuff there. She’d have to pack it up, and they’d eventually have to do the sad exchange. But the last thing she wanted to do was see anything that reminded her of him.

Before she even registered what she was doing, she scrolled through her contacts to Liam. Hovering over his name, she debated not calling him, but she needed to talk to someone. She needed to feel like her. Her thumb slid over the call button and she waited as the phone rang.

It rang four times, before a breathless Liam picked up. “Becca?”

“Hope I’m not catching you at a bad time.”

“No, it’s cool.” He paused. “Are you okay? You sound like you’ve been crying.”

“I—” What was she supposed to say that? She would be okay, but right about now she felt like sludge she’d scraped off her Prada pumps. “I guess I wanted to hear your voice. Had a pretty crappy day is all.”

She could hear the concern in his voice. “Do you want to talk about it?”

Her answer surprised her. “Actually, I was thinking, uhm, if you had a minute, maybe I could go for a swim. I don’t know. I—actually want to be in the water. Accomplish something. Is that crazy?”

“Not crazy at all. You’re starting to relax in the water, and it feels good to you. It can be really calming.”

“I know it’s an imposition, and we don’t have a lesson scheduled, and I’m seeing you Friday, but…” Her voice trailed.

He was quick to answer. “No. Not an imposition. I want to hear from you if you’re having a bad day. Thing is, I’ve already left the pool. How about a glass of wine, and we can hang out at my place. Not exactly what I planned for our first date, but I’d like to see you.”

His place? Her body warmed at the thought. All alone with no one to interrupt them? “Yeah, okay.” Adrenaline replaced the anger and disappointment, and suddenly, she was in a better mood than she’d been in all day.

After he gave her his address, it didn’t take her long to get to his place in North Park. He lived in one of the newer lofts near 30th. The building was one of those modern masterpieces that brought a hint of warmth.

Becca paused outside his door as nerves held her temporarily frozen in place. This is Liam.
