Chapter 17

Victoria

I hadn’t managed to pull myself out of bed yet.

The morning light was streaming in through the still open windows. Mark had an early launch time with his friends, so we’d been up in time to watch the sunrise.

Which, I had to admit, was pretty spectacular from our bedroom.

And it got even better when we made some time for some early morning cuddling.

It had started out innocently enough, but it certainly hadn’t ended that way.

I stretched, trying to work the kinks out of my body. Everything was deliciously sore, and I was not complaining.

Afterward, we had ordered room service, and we’d eaten piping hot eggs and fresh coffee, Mark had stepped into the shower, and he was already gone for the day.

It seemed like a lot to have accomplished before eight in the morning, and I hoped it would bode well for the rest of the day.

The envelope he had brought for me was still sitting on the bedside table. I wished he had put it somewhere else because there’s nothing like a stack of cash on a bedside table next to a bed where you’ve been thoroughly enjoyed, that makes you want to question everything about the night before.

But if I could just get through the next few hours, I would be back home in my own bed, in my own apartment, with people I actually liked, in just a little while.

I kept reminding myself of that while I stepped into the shower, the hot water easing my muscles and making me feel a little bit more ready to tackle the day.

I still had more than an hour before we were supposed to meet and go shopping. But, I knew this wasn’t going to be a casual shopping trip where I was allowed to pull on my favorite, comfortable jeans and a pair of flats.

No, this was going to have to be one of those things where I had to spend thirty minutes making sure my hair and makeup were just right and put on a pair of heels I didn’t want to spend more than five minutes in. Then, the marathon of shopping would commence.

I tried not to let myself focus on all the parts of this trip I was hating, and instead, I tried to focus on the parts I was loving.

Like last night — after the fight — and this morning,
