Ihadn’t gone after her. Not because I hadn’t wanted to, but because she had seemed so convinced and determined about her choice. I’d known I hadn’t stood a chance trying to make her change her mind, even if I’d gotten down on my knees and begged her to stay.

After she’d left, it had taken me less than five minutes to get her phone number. Vane’s aunt worked higher up, and could get it for me before I could blink twice. My gut had screamed at me to text her right away, but my rational mind had begged me to wait a few more days.

So I had.

Three days later, my fingers moved over the screen with unease in my hotel room. I knew what I wanted to say, but hoped it wouldn’t distance her even more. I bit my bottom lip, contemplating how to put into words what I felt.

Me: You didn’t give me a chance to answer, and maybe it was because you didn’t think I deserved it, since I’m a stranger. Truth is, I’m not afraid of complications, Arianna, not if that means having you.

I sucked in a deep breath, and threw my phone into my pocket after I stood up. This woman had occupied my mind since the first moment I’d met her. And if that wasn’t a sign, I didn’t know what the hell it was.
