Chapter 9

It didn’t take long to find him. Once Quinn and Darcy left, Zoe had walked around through the construction site and asked one of the foremen if he’d seen Aidan. On the far end of the property was a house that had sustained a lot of damage. As she walked over to it, all she could think was What have I gotten myself into?

This so wasn’t her problem and it had nothing to do with her, really. Why hadn’t she just said no? Let his family deal with him because they’d know what to do. If there was one thing Zoe hated, it was the element of surprise. There was nothing worse than walking into a situation and having no idea what to expect.

Hated. It.

For a brief moment when she reached the house, she seriously contemplated just leaving again. No one would know. It wasn’t like she was ever going to see Quinn Shaughnessy again, and as for Darcy…well…she was a kid and Zoe couldn’t even think about what she’d say to her if she saw her again.

“I am so going to have to take a class on learning how to say no,” she muttered as she climbed the front steps and reached for the door. “Why not just put a tattoo on my forehead that says sucker?”

She wasn’t more than two feet inside when she heard Aidan’s muttered curse coming from the second floor. Taking a deep breath, she began slowly climbing the stairs, wondering the entire time what she was supposed to say to him. After all, she still had no idea why he had left her the way he had.

She spotted him in the master bedroom and almost gasped at his appearance. He hadn’t shaved; he looked exhausted and…hell, right now he almost looked like a man without hope. He was in a pair of ripped, faded jeans and a stained T-shirt. She’d never seen him like this. He supervised on the site; he didn’t do the manual labor anymore. It was completely out of character for him. Stopping in the doorway, she leaned on the frame and waited for him to acknowledge her presence.

And waited.

And waited.

She cleared her throat and dropped her purse down on the floor, which seemed to snap Aidan out of his stupor.

“What are you doing here?” he grumbled.

“I could ask you the same thing.”

“I asked you first,” he said belligerently as he reached for the hammer in his tool belt. Zoe stepped forward and pulled it out of his grasp and placed it on the worktable behind her. “Hey!”

“You have guys who do this sort of thing,” she said simply. “So why don’t you tell me what’s going on?”

Aidan glared at her. “In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a lot of work to be done around here. We had a lot of damage from the storm, so I’m helping out. Sometimes I do that. And what do you care? You left.”

Zoe’s eyes went wide. “Me? What are you talking about?”

“I got the message, Zoe, believe me.
