“Hey baby, what are you doing?” Brayden’s voice boomed into my ear.

“Just pulling in the drive.”

“You go to the mailbox yet?”

I laughed. “Since when do you care about me getting the mail?”

“Just check it, Lils.”

“Okay, okay,” I muttered, as I walked over to the mailbox.

“Did you get it?” Brayden questioned, as I flipped through the envelopes.

Cradling the phone on my shoulder, I asked, “Get what exactly?”

“The ticket.”

My breath hitched. “You sent me a ticket?”

“Yeah, to come out here for Valentine’s Day weekend.”

His thoughtfulness caused my heartbeat to shudder and restart. At the bottom of the pile was a long envelope addressed to me. I couldn’t help squealing.

“I guess that means you got it,” he said, amusement vibrating in his voice.

I tore open the envelope and eyed the plane ticket. “Oh my God, Bray, thank you so, so much!”

“Well, we haven’t spent a Valentine’s Day apart since we’ve been together. I figured we didn’t need to start now. You won’t have a problem getting off that Friday, will you?”

“No, it should be fine.” Pressing the envelope against my chest, I sighed, “I can’t wait to see you.”

“I feel the same way.”

“Don’t plan anything for us to do while I’m there. I just want to spend the entire time with you, preferably in bed.”

Brayden laughed. “As much as I would like to oblige you on that one, I have to attend a party at my label on Saturday night. Wanna be my date?”

I tried hiding my disappointment that I was going to have to share Brayden. “Sure. I’d love to.”

“Great. Listen, I’ll have a driver waiting for you at the airport.”

I laughed. “Seriously? Why don’t you come and get me?”

“Because I have shit to do, Lils. I can’t just drop everything to pick you up.”

His words and his tone stung me. When I could finally speak, I said, “Yeah, sorry. I wasn’t thinking.”

“So I’ll see you in two weeks?”

“Of course.”

“Bye, Lils.”

“Bye, Brayden. I love you.”

But he didn’t hear me. He had already hung up.
