Chapter Eight

Calum watched Mia’s chest rise and fall in the rhythm of sleep, but he knew she wasn’t sleeping. Her movements were too obvious. Too exaggerated. She was pretending.

But why? Why didn’t she want to talk to him. He knew she’d been mad about Angela, but she seemed to accept his explanation that Angela had forced the kiss on him. Calum leaned back in his chair and ran his fingers through his hair. If he was smart, he would let this whole thing go. There was no need for him to smooth things over with Mia when she was moving away soon. But maybe that was part of the problem. He couldn’t bear the thought of her moving away, and he couldn’t bear the thought of her being mad at him.

Was it possible that his feelings for her were deeper than he wanted to admit to himself? Watching her back as she pretended to sleep, he couldn’t keep himself from thinking about how beautiful she was. Her curves were enticing and perfect. Her hair was glossy and shiny, reflecting the blue light from the television screen, which had been paused on the same movie scene for well over an hour now. Calum felt something for her—that was undeniable. But was she worth shaking up his comfortable, bachelor lifestyle? Calum wasn’t sure. How could he be? It had been a long time since he’d had a girlfriend, and his last relationship had ended badly. He didn’t want to end up in a situation like that with Mia. If nothing else, her friendship was too special to him.

His phone buzzed, and he looked down to see a text from Grant.

Darts and beer again tonight? I could use a chance to blow off some steam.

Calum frowned. Technically he could leave right now and go meet up with Grant. In fact, that’s probably what he should do. Mia would be happy that he was gone, and Grant would be happy to have a drinking buddy. But something was keeping Calum here. His heart wouldn’t let him go.

Sorry, buddy. Busy tonight. Raincheck for tomorrow? Calum texted back. Then he chewed thoughtfully on his bottom lip while he waited for Grant to reply.

Busy with Mia? Grant asked.

Calum was floored. How had Grant known? Was that supposed to be a joke, or was Grant serious? But suddenly, Calum had a moment of clarity. So many times, Calum had seen friends try to act like they didn’t have feelings for each other when they clearly did. Was he doing the same thing right now? Were he and Mia dancing around the truth?

Calum honestly wasn’t sure, but he did know one thing. He had to find out. Mia was about to move away, and something was tugging at his heart strings. If she was meant to be his lifemate, then he needed to find out now. Otherwise, he was going to end up with a restless bear, pining away for its lifemate who had just moved halfway across the country.
