Chapter Thirty-Three

Something about working for Ethan doesn’t feel quite right. Truth is, this is something I wanted to do on my own. It was necessary for me. For my confidence. Taking a job from Ethan makes me feel like I’ve just stolen all the wild cards in the Uno deck and feel like a fraud rather than someone who’s winning fair and square.

But I don’t tell him no. I don’t tell him yes either. Instead, I ask him to give me some time to think it over. He agrees and doesn’t talk to me about it again.

Thursday sucks. It was supposed to be my first day of work. Instead, I spend it doing shopping therapy with Aunt Jo. Aunt Jo isn’t a shopper, usually, but we are both taking Emily’s advice. She always said that shopping therapy was the absolute best way to get over bad news.

But it’s not. It’s a big fail. I don’t need casual clothes, and evidently, I don’t need work clothes anymore either. So we walk around aimlessly, and buy mocha lattes from the coffee shop and sit for a couple of hours and people-watch as we drink them.

Aunt Jo advises me to go with my heart in the decision whether to go to Boston or to accept Ethan’s offer of employment. Problem is, my heart is shouting at me from both sides. One part of it is telling me I can’t leave Ethan; the other part is screaming that my career is mine; that this is something I need to do for myself.

Thursday can’t end fast enough. But Friday is much better. On Friday afternoon, Ethan takes me to his Malibu house.

The house was built two years ago to Ethan’s exact specifications. As I’ve gotten to know Ethan better, I’ve learned that there is much, much more to him than his confident, handsome, wealthy-man veneer. He’s kind of a tech geek. His boyish excitement when discussing a new tech company or seeing a new gadget is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

He has that expression on his face now as he drives his Lamborghini down a winding driveway. When the house comes into view, I smile. Because it is exactly what I’d expect of Ethan. Not huge, but gorgeous, with modern angles, lots of steel, and tons of glass. Beyond the house, the Pacific Ocean stretches serenely into the horizon.

He drives around the house and into a garage, parking next to a conservative Audi against a back wall made entirely of glass. I turn to him. “Seriously? The best view ever, and you made it your garage?”

He smirks. “I’m in this garage at least twice every time I come out here, so I consider it worthy of the view. But don’t worry—the view upstairs is even better.”

He helps me out of his car—I nearly choked in surprise the first time I saw the banana-yellow Lamborghini. Then I couldn’t help but tease him for buying the car of a Hollywood mogul in a midlife crisis, and one who loves bananas, to boot.
