Chapter Six

Delta

I’m sure Brooks expects me to be wounded and resentful, maybe even avoid him for the next few days. That’s what most women would react to the man they’re in love with telling her he isn’t interested.

Don’t get me wrong, being flat out rejected right to your face sucks. I was hurt. Then, just like I’ve been doing my entire life, I dusted myself off and planned my next attack.

I might be young, but I’m not a child. I know what I want, I know what I’m doing, and I know what I see when Brooks looks at me. I might have doubted before, so wrapped up in my own shit that I missed what was right in front of me, but the look in his eyes last night confirmed what I’ve known deep down for a long time.

He wants me, he might even love me as much as I love him, but Dr. Brooks Harrison also a neurotic, type-A nutcase who can’t stand stepping off the beaten trail even for a second.

This is a man who wouldn’t let me use the new toaster until he read the booklet that came taped to the box. Falling for someone so much younger than him, his patient, must be eating him up inside.

The trouble for poor Brooks is, the someone he wants is me. I’ve spent my whole life falling and getting back up. I’ve battered my body, broken my own heart, and pieced it all back together again.

I can do anything.

Even convince the stubborn doctor we’re meant to be together.

“Good morning!” Brooks stops short on the second to last stair, his hands frozen in the act of adjusting his tie and face ridged with surprise at the sight of me.

It’s only six, he’s usually out of here before I wake up, but this morning I was sure to set an alarm. I’d slipped down here while he was in the shower to begin stage one of my plan.

“Good morning.” He finally replies, continuing his journey down the stairs and into the kitchen.

“Coffee’s fresh.”

He makes a noncommittal noise, avoiding looking directly at me as I scramble eggs. “Smells good. Thank you.”

“Want a breakfast burrito? I put kale in them, you can’t even taste it.”

“Sure.” He looks over at me, just as he’s pouring the coffee into his travel mug, and I pretend not to notice. Out the corner of my eye, I see the coffee overflow the cup and I have to bite back a smile. “What. Um. Where are you going?” He finally asks while he mops up the coffee, taking a stab at the same nonchalance I’m employing, as if last night didn’t happen.

“Oh!” I look down at myself, like I’d forgotten what I was wearing. It’s nothing over the top, just a pair of jeans I know make my butt look amazing and a soft white sweater, much nicer than the oversized t-shirt and leggings I usually wear in the morning. “I have a meeting with my agent. She’s been getting a lot of job offers for me and stuff.
