A fruit basket filled with bananas—and only bananas—sat on Jackson’s desk on Monday.

I’d spent all Sunday cursing myself for what I’d done. It was my fault. Completely my fault. I’d been a self-destructive bitch.

Between self-flagellations, I spent a lot of time reliving his hands and mouth and fingers all over my body.

Selena said I was crazy, and what I needed to do was get down on my knees, beg for his forgiveness, tell him I was an idiot, then give him the best head of his life.

I went with the fruit basket.

It sat there all day, untouched. Jackson never showed up for work. I texted him a dozen times, but he ignored them.

“Do you know where Jackson is?” I asked Analise. “I was meant to have a meeting with him.”

“He’s off this week. Some bike race in Europe.”

I sank into my chair. A bike race? He never mentioned that.

“I must have messed up the scheduling,” I said, perplexed.

“It was last minute. He sent an email last night that he was taking a week off. The guy deserves it. He hasn’t taken a break since he started here.” Analise halted her typing. “Except when his wife left him. Isaac had to drag him back to work after he’d been holed up in his apartment for two weeks.”

I opened Jackson’s Insta account. There was nothing new posted. Then I clicked on Kat’s, and I deflated. There was a post showing her and Evie on a plane flying from India to Italy. I could guess who they were going to see.

I googled how long the flight would take. There were still at least five hours until they’d land if they’d posted the picture before they took off.

I set a reminder to check her Insta account again in six hours. It was pathetic. I know. But I was a mess after the fight with Jackson. Selena was off on a photoshoot on some tropical island across the world, so I could only communicate with her through WhatsApp.

The rest of the day, I tortured myself walking by his office and staring at the untouched basket of bananas.
