Chapter Seven

Cassidy

A few days after my roll in the hay with Liam, it was my first day at my new job!

I blinked open my eyes and a beam of sunlight flashed directly onto my face, blurring my already hazy vision.

I groaned as I rolled over, the familiar softness of my sheets wrapping around me. I stared at the clock beside my bed and sighed. It was two minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. “Damn it.”

I sat up in bed and images of my time with Liam flooded into my head, along with a huge wave of sadness.

It had been one of the greatest nights of my life, but also one of the worst. And more importantly, it had been a mistake.

Sure, it had been amazing and spontaneous, and if it wasn’t for Liam being... Liam, I would have gone my whole life without a memory like it.

But it was still a mistake.

I sighed and slid back down beneath the warmth of my covers. I couldn’t believe that Liam had nothing to say to me in the car while our favorite song had played on the radio. Or even when he dropped me off.

No words, no explanation.

Nothing. As usual.

And for two days following, he hadn’t called me either. I only had myself to blame if I’d thought he could change.

I glanced at the outfit I’d hung on my closet handle. I couldn’t put it off anymore.

“Okay... get up.”

I climbed out of bed, made myself a cup of coffee and glanced at my phone. There were no messages or calls from Liam. Still.

Disappointment hit me like a punch to the gut and I groaned aloud.

“Stop being so pathetic.”

Maybe he’ll call today? Isn’t the rule for guys to wait three days before calling?

I shook myself to clear the thoughts. I had bigger fish to fry today.

Today was my first day at Hartmann and Cole, and I was determined to have a great day. I also had to swing by the hospital to make a payment. Mr. Hartmann’s signing bonus had been more than generous, and would definitely cover the next few months.

I’d almost burst into tears when he’d told me that. And even better than that, after signing the contract three days ago, the balance was already reflected in my bank account.

I was truly grateful and I had no words to properly express it, so I figured the best way to show my gratitude was to work hard.

Within the hour I was dressed in a chic outfit, my hair swept to the side, and despite everything that had happened, I was feeling confident.

I drove to the hospital and walked along the corridor until I found the billings office.

“Good morning, ma’am. May I help you?” the young woman greeted me with a warm smile.

“Morning,” I greeted in return and took out my wallet. “I’m here to make a payment for the account of Nathan Moore. I’m his sister, and responsible for the account.”

“Of course,” she answered and typed on her computer keyboard.
