She hesitated to add that last line, but she knew further explanation was necessary and didn’t want it to sound like she was ungrateful or give him the impression there was a particular reason she’d left. Luckily, she had formulated an answer for anything he might ask, as long as he didn’t mention Tina. And honestly, she couldn’t see that happening.

She wasn’t quite prepared for her phone to ring two minutes later. She took a deep breath and answered. “Hey. I figured you were at work still. I didn’t want to call and interrupt if you were in a meeting or something.”

“I’m not in a meeting.” His voice was strained. “Everything okay? Why did you move out so abruptly? You don’t have to do that. I told you, you could stay as long as you’d like. I have the space.”

She licked her lips. God, she didn’t want to have this conversation. It was way outside of her comfort zone. Half her conversations lately fell in that category. “I know, but it just felt weird imposing on you for so long. I had thought it would only take a few days to find something else. It’s proving more difficult than that. I don’t know how long I might need a place to stay.”

“And I don’t mind at all. I thought Bex and Shayla didn’t have an extra room?” He sounded stressed. She was honestly kind of surprised that he cared this much. Damn, he was hard to read. Why couldn’t he just shrug and say okay and move on?

“They don’t, but they’re rarely both home anyway, and if I need to, I can sleep on their couch.”

There was a long, silent pause before Mack spoke again. “Did I do something?”

She winced. “No. Not at all. I really like you. If you want us to keep seeing each other, I’d like that. Honestly, I’m afraid staying with you might mess up whatever is between us before it has a chance to get started. It’s too weird staying with a man I just started dating. It was okay for a few days, but now it’s strange. Don’t you think?”

He drew in a deep audible breath. “Are you sure that’s it? Did I make you feel pressured or something? Because if I did, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to. I feel bad about the other night. I crossed a line when I walked in on you in the bathroom. I shouldn’t have done that. I made you uncomfortable.”

She shook her head even though he couldn’t see her. “No. Of course not. How could I possibly be mad about that?” Okay, now she was fibbing a little. She was a bit frustrated by that incident. Not because he came into the bathroom and then fingered her against the wall, though. That part was heavenly. No. She wasn’t mad. She was confused.

He groaned, not loudly, just enough for her to hear it though. “Maybe you’re right. I really like you. I want to keep seeing you if you’re willing.
