Chapter Twelve

The next day Alisha was on her way home from leaving the engagement ring, tucked into a handwritten apology, with Spencer’s secretary. She didn’t know if he’d actually not been there or if he simply hadn’t wanted to see her, but either way it was over. She couldn’t go back in time and stop him from hearing the truth about his parentage, but she did let him know how much she regretted the way he’d learned about it. She wished she could have spared him that.

I can’t change what happened.

I can’t make anyone forgive me.

But I can look at myself in the mirror now. I did everything I could to make amends.

When she pulled into her driveway, there was a limo parked off to one side. The driver straightened and replaced his hat when he saw her. Is Brett here?

Her heart beat double time, and she could barely breathe as she parked her car. The driver opened the door of her car for her and handed her a card.

Alisha opened it.

Let me pamper you today.

—Brett

She looked from the driver to the limo. “Is he here?”

“No, ma’am, but I’m at your disposal for the day.”

Alisha had never ridden in a limo. Feeling awkward, she shrugged. “I don’t have anywhere I need to go.”

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a piece of paper, and unfolded it. “I believe this might help.”

It had the name of a spa and two high-end stores. “I’m sorry. I don’t understand.”

“Mr. Westerly has arranged a surprise for you at each of the places listed. You may choose to go to any or all of the locations. Now or when it is more convenient for you. As I said, I’m at your disposal today.”

“What kind of surprises?” she asked.

The driver gave her a bland smile. “I really can’t say.”

Alisha chewed her bottom lip and weighed her curiosity against her common sense. Accepting gifts from Brett would give him the wrong idea. She should have refused the luggage.

But they were so perfect. Exactly what I would have chosen.

I have to say no to this. I don’t want him to think I’ll change my mind about us.

“I’m sorry. I can’t accept this.” She handed him back the list.

He took it and tucked it into his suit pocket. She leaned on her car and waited for him to climb into the limo and drive off.

I have no choice. I have to say no.

The driver returned to where he’d been standing when she pulled in, near the front of the limo beside the passenger door. He removed his hat and tucked it beneath his arm.

“Aren’t you leaving?” she asked.

“My instructions are to stay all day in case you change your mind.”

Okay, I’m good, but I’m only human. She took out her phone and sent a text to Brett.

I can’t do this, Brett.

Yes, you can. Let someone do something nice for you for a change.

She remembered how Rachelle had asked her to stay away from her brother and told herself to be strong.
