Staring out the window at the busy streets below with narrowed eyes, I clenched my jaw as my mind worked slowly. Anna’s phone call rang in my ears, and for the first time I found myself wondering about who she was. Surely I knew her, what she liked and disliked, her favorite movie and what snacks she enjoyed, but I was skimming the surface.

“-she didn’t give me any real details…” Risha’s words from a week ago floated into my mind’s eye with that curious expression on her porcelain face. Does that mean Anna doesn’t talk about me with her friends?

My frown deepened, and I tore my gaze off the city to drop heavily into my chair. Mine was such a silly concern, I knew; who was I to expect Anna to gossip about me, anyway? Just because I had told my friends about her didn’t mean she had to do the same.

“It’s been too long since I’ve had a relationship. I thought I left all of this behind in my 20s.” Speaking up into my empty office, I raked my hand through my hair with a heavy sigh. My words bounced around me tauntingly, daring me to question myself about why I was in this relationship.

Closing my eyes, I leaned back in my chair to picture Anna. She was sweet, beautiful, and I truly did enjoy my time with her. Like taking her to nice restaurants, buying out a theater to watch a romantic movie, and taking her to London. Frowning at the mental pictures, I tried to search my memory for anything we did in the past few months that didn’t involve pulling out my wallet. Even when we had a date night at her apartment I still ended up paying for takeout.

It’s not like I don’t have money to burn…

Hissing, I sucked my teeth like a teenager that was just scolded by his mother. My mind turned to our conversation, and Anna’s steady voice wiggled into the shallow crevices of my brain. Her car had broken down, and she didn’t have the money to fix it. She had an important client out of town that wouldn’t wait on her, and she couldn’t afford a rental car.

Anna couldn’t seem to afford a lot of things despite having a fairly affluential job as a real estate agent. I knew plenty of people that sold homes and lived comfortably.

“What could I tell her? No?” Glancing around my office, I couldn’t help but acknowledge I was going to go insane if I stayed here. The large clock on my wall told me noon was only 15 minutes away, and I pushed myself up to grab my jacket. My footfall was hard, reflecting the set of my shoulders as I made my way past a slew of closed doors leading to conference rooms to reach the elevator.

My cell phone rang, and I fished the device out of my pocket to grimace at the screen. Luca’s face flashed, giving me a good distraction from my own problems as I focused on his.
