Chapter Fourteen

“I can’t believe I fell for it,” I mumbled lethargically, staring blankly out of Erica’s passenger side window. The day’s exhaustion settled into my bones. All I wanted to do was curl up in bed with a warm blanket and a whole cookie sheet of gooey cinnamon rolls.

“Honey,” Erica said from the driver’s seat, reaching over and giving my leg a pat. “You really shouldn’t jump to conclusions.”

Swiveling around to face her, I glared. “You saw him with that girl. You know exactly where he went and why he canceled. He didn’t even have the decency to call me because they were probably already locking lips in the back of her car.”

Erica set her mouth into a grim line and I could tell she stood in the midst of a heated mental debate with herself. “I know this looks bad, but I didn’t get that vibe from him. He’s really not like that. Besides, I can’t even picture him with a girl that plastic anyway. He’s into you. He thinks you’re gorgeous. Have you seen the way he looks at you? Just wait until those pictures come out. It was like you two were the only two people in the world during that photoshoot. Even I was close to swooning—”

Unable to hear anymore, I snapped, “He was probably just playing a part. He’s an actor, Erica. You’re an author. It’s a completely different line of work with completely different laws and expectations attached. We lie for a living.”

With a heavy sigh, Erica stuck turned her key in the ignition. We had pulled off the road on the way to Jordy’s when Garrick’s text came through.

“Would you like to go out?” she asked, throwing a chipper note into her voice and a small smile on her face. “Have a girl’s night? I’m sure he has a good explanation, but I don’t want to see you sit around and sulk about it until he gives it to you, sweetie.”

“No,” I replied softly, sinking into my seat. “Just take us to the hotel, please. I have to call my father for the weekly report anyway.”

Erica stared at me for a moment. I could feel the weight of her eyes and her disappointment, and potentially her pity, settle on my shoulders. She put the car into drive and pulled out of the parking lot in front of the local theater. We cruised up Central, headed for I-25. Crowds had already gathered outside of the bars and restaurants, milling about like clusters of merry insects, their smiling faces probably illuminated by the neons hanging in the storefront windows.

But I couldn’t see any of it very well.

Because I had tears in my eyes.
