WHEN I ARRIVE BACK IN Manhattan, I head straight to the gallery rather than home. As much as I want to be back in Phoenix’s arms, I’m still silently stewing over everything Genevieve told me. I need a little more space and time to process. And he needs me to trust him. And if I walk in with Genevieve’s story of the night she met Phoenix weighing heavily on my mind, I may as well be holding a ticking time bomb. I fucking hate that I am being such a girl these days. I vowed I would never be one of those super confusing and conflicting bitches whose emotions get the best of her. But alas, here I am. One super confused and conflicted bitch. Sigh.

I just need a few hours to help clear my mind. Convince myself that they were drunk and he simply doesn’t remember because they were stupid and in college and partying. Because if he remembered, he’d tell me. Right? He knows where I stand with lying—at least now he does—and I don’t think he’d be game for castration. And if we’re being entirely honest, that would be a waste of a God-given gift. And womankind should not be deprived of that kind of glory. And by womankind I mean me.

Besides, not only do I want to forget about it all for a little while, but I legitimately need to make sure everything is moving forward as it should so we can start thinking about the final preparations for Brock’s show. I don’t care that it’s almost the end of the workday.

“Hey! My little chocolate truffle muffin filled with tequila-flavored sunshine is back!”

Truffle muffin? Tequila-flavored sunshine? Where the hell does he come up with this shit? I fake a smile, pushing all of my emotional turmoil to the back of my mind.

“That I am.”

I leave my suitcase in the back office and quickly get brought up to speed on things. With just a week left before the show, we’re still behind on the vendor details for opening night. I’m just about to dial the caterer’s phone number when Brock pops into the office, knocking like a madman as he walks through the door.

“So how was your whirlwind trip to the Windy City?”

“Eh, it was fine.” I’m deliberately vague.

“Really?” He gives me a pointed look that travels right down his nose. “I don’t buy that for one minute. You look like you haven’t slept in days.”

“Really. It was fine. I’m fine. How was everything here?”

“Oh, you know,” he flicks his wrist, “the usual. The fairest of them all made an appearance and was none too happy with your absence.”

Huh?

“Who?”

“Farrah ...” he rolls his eyes dramatically. “She came by to get the updated press preview invite list. Seemed really inconvenienced by your travel plans.”

“Whatever. I cleared everything with James.”

Brock shrugs and I shrug off the thought of her attitude. Outside of work, Farrah and I could actually be good friends. Beneath her tough exterior, I know there is a sweet girl who enjoys sarcasm as strong as her drinks.
