I grabbed the envelope and kicked my comforter away without a second thought. My hand pressed against the invisible door and pushed it open, but William’s bed was neatly made, and he was not in his room. The faint sound of a guitar filtered in from the other side of the door.

“William?” I called in a soft, weary tone as I walked out of his room, but his apartment was dark, so I followed the sound to his living room.

William was barefoot and shirtless, but he still had on the dark green pants he had worn to dinner. He was reclined against the sofa with one of his legs propped up and his guitar on his lap. “Hey.” He turned to look at me and followed me with his gaze but didn’t stop playing.

“Hey.” I sat on the coffee table in front of him and waved the envelope to let him know I’d seen it.

He placed his palms over the strings, pressed his lips into a tight smile, and started playing Dave Matthews Band’s “Where Are You Going.” I stared at him as he played and sang the song.

By the time he was halfway through it, I stood. He tossed his guitar to the side, grabbing my arm and pulling me on top of him. I straddled his hips and let my weight fall on his lap.

“I didn’t know,” he said, tucking my hair behind my ear and leaning in to press a kiss below it. “I didn’t lie or withhold the information from you because I didn’t ask them to follow you. They are paid to stay out of sight and keep me safe during work events and specific outings.” His hands moved to my waist. “I’d never mentioned them to you because I honestly forget they even exist. Agent Hawthorne is my assigned bodyguard, and I’ve only interacted with him a handful of times. But it’s Alice’s responsibility as my personal assistant to let him know where he needs to be.”

“So why did Agent Hawthorne follow me while you were gone?”

William blew out a breath and rubbed the back of his neck with a shrug. “When I questioned Agent Hawthorne about it at the restaurant, he said the company reached out to Alice to confirm our relationship and asked if the contract should include you, too. Alice said yes because she thought that’s what I would say. But of course, she never mentioned it to me because she knows I don’t like getting too involved in those matters and I’d just left for Vancouver. But I called her earlier, and she said she didn’t think they would follow you when I was gone, that she thought they meant for shared outings.”

I took a deep breath and let it out with a sigh. “I’m sorry I assumed the worst.”

“It looked bad,” he said. “I don’t blame you for getting upset. But when your father mentioned it, he caught me off guard, too. You know I would never lie to you about something like that.
