Chapter Thirteen

DAISY SAT UP in bed and glared at the clock. Seven fifteen. Despite the fact that she’d told Grant she had to get to work today, she actually didn’t. She could have spent the night and this morning with him too. She’d needed an excuse in case things didn’t go well, which was ridiculous. Things with Grant had gone really well. So well, in fact, she couldn’t sleep from worrying that rushing him out the door last night meant he’d be texting her today to say their date was off. When she wasn’t worrying about hurrying him out the door, she was dealing with the guilt that she hadn’t come clean about Overtime Parking. She should have told him. He most likely would have dumped her on the spot, but at least she would have been honest with him.

Guys like Grant could have almost any woman they wanted. He was handsome, interesting, fun to be around, and the fact he had money didn’t hurt, either. They’d spent the night before enjoying each other. She wasn’t dumb enough to imagine she was the only woman in his life. She wasn’t sure how she felt about sharing him with anyone else. Mostly, she didn’t want to be the hook-up he really wasn’t into but didn’t mind having sex with once in a while. She wanted to be his one and only, if she was brutally honest. The only way she was going to make an impression was to make him believe she could live without him. Guys as competitive as Grant would see her as a challenge.

She’d fantasized about him so many nights before, but the reality was better than anything she’d come up with on her own. They weren’t dangling off the Space Needle or naked on the fifty-yard line of Sharks Stadium, but she’d had him all to herself. She’d enjoyed her crazy fantasies. Maybe he’d help her act out a few of them later. That is, if he liked the thrill of almost getting caught.

The readers of her kooky little book would have been asleep if she’d written the story of two people alone in her cozy bed while rain fell on the roof, but the memories were sweet. And she hoped she’d get the opportunity again. Very soon.

She heard footsteps in the hallway outside of her bedroom, and a rumpled Catherine poked her head around the doorjamb.

“Morning, love,” her roommate said. “Did you have fun last night?”

“I did,” Daisy said.

“You don’t look like it.” Catherine bustled into the room and sat down in the chair in the corner of Daisy’s room, wrapping the bathrobe she wore more securely around her. “What happened? You don’t have to tell me the good parts if you don’t want to.”

“Where’s Declan?”

“He dropped me off on his way to the office half an hour ago. We had a nice evening,” she said. “The usual. You know: A bottle of wine in front of the fire, some snuggling, and I committed acts on him that would make my mother blush.
