I hold my breath as the elevator comes to a rest at the fifteenth floor. When the metal doors open, I turn to face Chester.

“Do you think you could wait here? I’m just going to slide this beneath his door. I promise I won’t be long.”

Nodding, he motions with his hand. All he knows is that Zane and I had an argument and I’m trying to make peace, which is technically true. What Chester doesn’t know could land us all in deep trouble.

“Go ahead,” he says. “His apartment is just around the corner. Apartment fifteen E. I’ll wait here.”

“Thank you, Chester.”

My heart pounding in my chest, I proceed down the long hallway toward his apartment. I glance down at the envelope in my shaking hand. Maybe I am taking the cowardly way out by writing out my thoughts. But apologizing to Zane face-to-face is too intimidating to bear. I refuse to let our fight fester until his next shift.

The sight of the bronze apartment sign 15E sends a mixture of terror and exhilaration coursing through my body. I know I’m pushing his new boundaries by coming to his apartment. My intention is to make peace. I worry Zane will only see this as defiance. Either way, I’m willing to take the risk. And the punishment, if necessary.

Just as I’m kneeling to slide the envelope beneath the door, I hear movement coming from inside the apartment.

Shit.

I hadn’t expected Zane to be awake this early. Before I can stand, the door suddenly opens in front of me. My attention lands on a woman’s bright pink toenails, and then rises slowly to follow her long, toned legs. She’s wearing a gray, oversized men’s shirt that hits just above mid-thigh. Her dark hair is long and tousled like she’s just gotten out of bed. When I finally make eye contact with the gorgeous raven-haired beauty, I’m certain my heart has shattered into a million little pieces.

Is she why he doesn’t want me coming to his apartment?

She leans into the doorjamb, causing the shirt to inch up higher on her thigh. “Can I help you with something?”

I rotate the envelope in my hands. “Oh, um… I was just going to leave this for Zane.”

She gives me a lazy smile. “He’s still sleeping. But you can leave it with me if you want. Who should I say stopped by?”

Fuck. What do I say? I can’t give her my name. I’ve got to get out of here.

I take a step back. “On second thought, I think I’ll just wait and catch him another time.”

She tilts her head, drawing her perfectly arched brows together. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I-I’m sorry to have bothered you.” Mortified, I turn and leave.

As I round the corner back to the elevator, I toss the envelope into the garbage bin. How could I have been so stupid?

The elevator door is chiming and Chester smiles as I approach. I do my best to mask my rioting emotions and keep it together.

“All set to head back
