Calum was stunned that that was the first thing she would think about. Did she really think so little of him? His father might have invested in the Bridgers, but he hadn’t come to Calum and asked him for help. Why was she always looking for something to push him away?

Why were you?

“Pearl, I don’t talk to my father. He had nothing to do with this.”

She pursed her lips together. “I believe you.”

“I’ve never lied to you, Pearl. You know I don’t talk to him.”

“I know. I’m sorry.”

He knew she had trust issues, but he was glad she believed him. He had never lied to her.

Of course, he wasn’t telling her everything. He wasn’t telling her that kiss last night scared him, that her walking away hurt him, but was also a relief.

Being with her made him lose all control. It was like no time had passed between them. He forgot who he was when he had her in his arms.

And suddenly, he was very thankful that he was getting out the city for the weekend. Max was going his to favorite doggy day-care place and he was going to just get away, into the mountains for some peace and quiet.

Away from this.

All of these emotions. He had been overcome when he kissed her. He’d forgotten everything. When he was with Pearl he forgot what happened. The pain when she left.

Kissing her, he lost all control.

He still cared for her.

He still loved her, but he couldn’t open up to her. When she left him last night, he remembered why he guarded his heart.

“I really am thankful that you’re assisting me. There’s no one I would rather have.”

He nodded, but he wasn’t so sure about that, not really. If she really wanted him why had she left all those years ago?

“Well, I think I’m going to head back to the hospital,” he said, because he didn’t really have much more to say. Not at this time.

Not without saying something that he would regret.

Would you regret it, though?

“Sure. I will be there as soon as I check up on Jose’s hand.”

“Make sure there isn’t a crush injury,” he added.

She gave him a look that said “please” and then he chuckled softly. He’d forgotten who he was talking to.

“I’ll see you later,” she said over her shoulder, heading back into the facility.

Calum headed in the opposite direction, watching the players on the field, taking his time as he processed everything. All the emotions he was feeling, how it was so easy to get wrapped back up in Pearl’s life and why he was a lost man when it came to Pearl Henderson.

“Calum!”

Hearing his name, Calum spun around and his stomach twisted as he saw his father up in the stands, not far from him.

It had been a long time since he had seen Grayson Munro, at least as long as he and Pearl had split up. And honestly, although it felt like an eternity that he and Pearl had been apart, it didn’t quite feel long enough since he had last seen his father.
