Chapter Eleven

Darcy had tried to reach her father on her way into work, but he’d never answered. He’d call back when he had a moment. He always did.

Now she sat at her desk and answered emails that were coming in and went about with business as usual. The only difference was the door to Ed’s office was open, but he wasn’t there.

When the phone rang, she answered it as she would any other phone call that came into his office, but this time when she heard the voice on the other end, her heart did a little flip in her chest.

“Good morning, sweetheart.”

She sighed. “Good morning. How is Saint Louis?”

“It’ll be better around dinner time.”

“Why is that?” There was a flirty tone to her voice.

“Because you’re going to book yourself a flight out here and spend the week with me.”

Now the flip in her heart became a weight in her stomach. “I am?”

“There are multiple reasons. I need you to help me coordinate these meetings with insurance companies and city officials. I can only do so much of this without losing my mind.”

She’d thought maybe he’d wanted her there because he was missing her, but this was her boss calling. There was a serious difference.

“No problem. I’ll make arrangements, and I’ll meet you at the site.” Her voice threatened to give out on her, but she could be a professional and keep it together.

“Shall I go by your house and pick you up a suitcase of clothes?”

He laughed. “No. I took care of all that. You might leave me a small corner of yours to carry it all back in though.”

She didn’t say anything.

“Darcy, above all else, I want you here because I miss you. Us being apart is no way to start a relationship.”

She dropped her shoulders, releasing the tension that had built up in them.

“You really miss me?”

“I know it probably sounds crazy since we’ve only known each other a week, but it’s true.”

She figured she was smiling like a fool, but she had needed to hear it. “My mother always told me it wouldn’t matter how long I knew a man, when you knew he was the right one you knew.”

Ed chuckled. “My grandmother would say the same thing.”

“I’m still old fashioned enough though. I’m going to book myself a room.”

“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

She knew he meant that too, or he would have stayed the other night—or asked to.
