As we finally left the city behind, the smell of brine drifted to me from the slightly opened car window. I frowned and straightened in my seat at the unfamiliar landscape and mansions secured behind massive wrought iron gates…

Sea Cliff.

Had Jack actually taken his grandfather’s words to heart that I’d wait for him at their home?

No, I shrugged the thought aside. Jack didn’t seem aware of anything since we left Millbrae.

He drove up to the cream, three-story mansion and parked in front of what appeared to be a four-car garage. His jaw had remained set in the same hard lines since we’d left the hospital.

Guess there’s no point in prolonging this. I retrieved my cell phone from my backpack at my feet, sliding through the apps until I came to Lyft.

“What are you doing?”

His rough voice startled me into looking up. “Getting a ride.”

His features twisted for a second. “Why?”

I sighed. “Jack, I need to go home. Your family will come—”

Derisive laughter stopped my protest. “They won’t. They’re undoubtedly praying like hell for the devil to make it quick and end him.”

His words were like a punch to my stomach, his harshness a vise around my chest. “You don’t mean that.”

“Don’t I?” His cynical gaze met mine. He slammed out of the car and strode around the hood to my side while I tried to get my shocked mind to process his bitter words. He opened the door.

I scrambled out. “Jack—”

“I don’t want you to leave.”

“I can’t stay.”

“Can’t or won’t?”

“You knew this was just a one-time thing.” A one-time thing that I wish could be more. “But I’ll go and visit Nigel.”

“Pops wants you here when he gets out of the hospital. You heard him. Hell, he goes to visit Chuck just as much to see you, with no care for his health—”

“Don’t you dare make this my fault.”

Cursing, he spun away, hands on his hips, he glared at the flowerbed—the house—I wasn’t sure which. “What are you going to tell him then?” he demanded. “That you couldn’t stay because you fucked his grandson, whom you can’t stand?”

I blinked at his fury. “Jack…” Damn, this was so difficult. “I don’t dislike you—”

He wheeled around, his expression stony, eyes cold. “You do an excellent job of showing me otherwise. All I know is you won’t touch me unless I touch you first. You labeled me a player and now can’t see past that tag—no matter how hard I try to show you that I don’t mess around. Not anymore. Still, you dump me with all those fucking assholes who want to cop a feel of you in that damn place where you work!”

“It’s not like I have a choice when it comes to jobs!” I snapped, hurt. “I need to earn a living, and not many are willing to take on an inexperienced woman in the serious job departments. I’ve tried!”

“I’m sorry…” He dragged his fingers through his hair, messing it. “I’m fucking losing my mind. I can’t stay here. This place, the damn silence is already driving me crazy.
