“I didn’t come to Paris on business,” he admitted once he’d gotten Sky and Arnie settled in the truck.

Sky snorted. “I know. The school is closed for the long weekend.”

Wiseass. “The truth is, Butterfly, I missed Arnie.”

She broke into laughter. “Sure.”

“May I?” he asked Arnie. The dog didn’t growl, so he went ahead, pulling Sky onto his lap and kissing her. “I missed you.”

“Finally. The real reason you’re here,” she said.

“Yeah,” he admitted, gruffly, cupping her face and brushing his thumbs over her cheeks.

He’d missed coming home to her. Missed her cooking barely edible shit and recording crazy videos for her followers. Missed her complaints about the weather and the connectivity. He’d missed her laughter and her cheeky comebacks, her kisses and her soft caresses. He’d missed it all, stupid fashion shows included. Even crazy Cerberus had grown on him.

He’d told himself ad nauseam that he had no game plan when he jumped into the truck and drove to Paris. It was just a whim. A sudden urge to drive.

Right. What a load of crap.

He’d managed to hold off for two weeks after the YouTube video. Two excruciatingly long and miserable weeks. On the verge of cracking every fucking day.

“Why didn’t you come back to town instead of putting that tutorial on YouTube?” he asked before he could order his mouth to stay shut. He tried to suppress the accusatory tone in his voice, but he wasn’t sure he’d managed it.

Thankfully, she didn’t seem to notice. “Logistical issues. You watched it?”

He nodded. Multiple times, actually. Same for her other videos. By now he knew more about beauty hacks and plucking hair than his male ego cared to admit. “What logistical issues?”

“I had to give up the rental.”

Wait. “What?”

Sky grimaced. “I had to switch apartments. I don’t know why, but everyone assumes I have a purse dog, and they freak the shit out when they see Arnie. The place the school arranged for me was too small, or so the owner claimed when she saw me—Arnie, that is. The new apartment is more expensive, so I had to give up the rental to compensate.”

“How do you get around without a car?” The college was fairly close by, but still.

“I walk. I’m developing very unfashionable calves, but I’ll survive.”

Fuck. “Why didn’t you tell me you were stranded?”

“Why should I have? I didn’t know you cared.”

He leaned his forehead against hers, guilt weighing heavily on him. “Sorry, Butterfly. Of course I care. I should have driven you here and ensured you were settled in.” The fact that she had had to go alone, move her stuff, and then move again because the landlord got scared of Arnie, didn’t sit well with him. Total dick move on his part.

“Don’t sweat it. I would have turned you down if you’d offered. We independent women don’t go for clingy, overprotective men. Now that we’re on the subject, though, why didn’t you come to see me earlier?” She stared at him, her beautiful dark eyes scrutinizing. “Oh, wait.
