Chapter 10

Argh. Six thirty was way too early to be getting up. It was pitch-black outside and would be for at least another hour. The trees outside my window stirred in the sprinkling rain and light breeze. It was going to be f-f-f-freezing out there. I checked the weather on my phone. Starting at five Celsius, rising to a whopping ten! Great.

I magicked on long tights, sports bra, long-sleeve tee, and a jacket I could unzip and tie around my waist. The house was quiet and dark as I made my way downstairs. Olivia wouldn’t start work until eight, so she’d get to sleep for another forty-five minutes. Lucky duck. Hmm, or was I the duck, going out in the rain when inside was so much nicer?

As I sipped my coffee at the kitchen table, I decided to treat myself when I got home. I’d light the fire in the living room and take a couple of hours to just read and relax—goodness knew I’d had no decompression time lately. And later I’d edit poor Marcia’s photos. At least she’d have some nice memories of her birthday. Saying goodbye to Will this morning for the last time in who knew how long was going to suck, but that didn’t mean the rest of my day had to. Maybe I’d even grab a takeaway double-chocolate muffin and cappuccino to bring back and enjoy by the fire. I smiled.

Coffee finished, I looked at my phone. Five minutes until Will was supposed to arrive. Restless, I stood and stretched my legs. It was cold out, and I didn’t want an injury. Just as I finished my quads, there was a light tap on the reception-room door. I grinned and ran to open it.

Sexy in black, he stepped through the door and caught me in his embrace. I inhaled the fresh scent of his deodorant and tipped my head up for a kiss. Okay, so getting up early wasn’t all bad when this was the reward. When we were done, he cleared his throat and grinned. “That’s the best pre-run hello I’ve ever had.”

“I’m awesome like that.” I smirked.

“Mmm, you definitely are.” He sighed. “But now we have to go out in the rain and do our duty. Are you ready?”

“No.” I frowned. “Can we at least get fifteen minutes in before we fight. I really need the exercise.”

He shook his head. “You’re a weirdo, but okay.”

“How is wanting my exercise weird? It sets me up for the day and means I can eat the double-chocolate muffin without feeling guilty for the rest of the week.”

“Can’t you just eat what you want? I can.”

I rolled my eyes. Typical man—he had no idea what it took for us ladies to keep control of our fat cells. I had way more to corral than he had, and they were stubborn—they refused to stop asking for food, and they didn’t want to be shrinking violets, hidden away where no one could see. Each one tried to be bigger than the rest, practically jumping up and down saying, “Look at me.
