Chapter 12

Nathan held his bag in one hand, and he wore his nice coat for travelling.

He’d chartered a flight back to Massachusetts when he’d gotten back from Sagewood then quickly packed and spent the rest of the time trying to figure out how Storm could crack the land trust. He’d researched for a few hours, spoken to Bill, and consulted another land expert out of California who he had to pay a premium to talk to. Which was fine. He didn’t care.

Now he needed to send Storm a text and let her know the land trust held. Stinkin’ ancient law from the eighteen hundreds when these kinds of homesteading deals were put into place.

He thought of the fight with Sky earlier and shook his head, finding it funny and a bit disturbing at the same time. He was Nathan Pennington. Calm. Cool. Composed. Dang it! Forbes had deemed him a most eligible bachelor three years ago in a spread, where he’d certainly looked the part. Casual, aloof. He remembered laughing at the cover but liking the attention. It hadn’t hurt his feelings when he’d been told in the article that he could definitely be a movie star instead of an attorney/businessman if he wanted.

Checking his phone, he thought he should call her and tell her the news. She was stuck in her stupid marriage. But he didn’t want to.

The elevator doors opened, and he stepped out, prepping himself to drive to the Salt Lake airport and get on his chartered plane back to Massachusetts.

He’d called the assistant in charge of his house, informing her he planned to come back tonight and to please stock some food and wine.

Going to the attendant at the front desk, he gave him his two keys, thinking how the next couple of days might be lonely, but he would work. Why not go into the office? He’d call some buddies and hit a basketball game in Boston. He’d be fine.

He’d call her later and tell her the news, and then he’d forget about her.

“Sir.” The attendant frowned. “Did the lady get a hold of you?”

Surprise washed through him. “Lady?”

The attendant’s eyes darted to the lobby, then back to him. He shook his head. “Never mind, sir. I shouldn’t have said anything. It’s not my place.”

It was too late. Nathan looked at the couches and saw who he was talking about.

There was Storm, sitting on the couch. With her eyes closed, she looked the same as she had earlier at the assisted living center.

His heart raced, and his adrenaline spiked. All the boredom and dark thoughts lifted. She’d come. Granted, she hadn’t come up or called, but she was here. A rush of energy surged through him.

“Sir, you are checked out.”

He barely heard the attendant as he’d already left the counter and was headed to her, unable to stop himself from going to her. “Storm?”

Jolted, her eyes flew open. He saw she held a cell phone on her lap, and then he saw his name glowing back at him.
