Chapter 30

“This place is swanky,” Jared says, kicking the door closed behind him. Shakers, strainers and double jiggers rattle in a box as he shifts his weight to pull a cart carrying ice and a dozen bottles of various spirits and bitters. “I thought professors lived in little West Village hovels with books as tables.”

“Not if you work for NYU.” Camila leads him down a corridor, through the newly refurbished living space and into a dining room. She motions toward the view of Washington Square Park. “He’s not even tenured.”

“Maybe I should’ve finished my Masters in Chemistry,” Jared replies, setting the box down onto the dark chestnut dining table. “Think I can get a tour?” He whispers. “I always love checking out fancy apartments.”

“You’ve seen the living area and this. The caterers are in the kitchen.” She waves a hand for him to follow her. They peer into a pristine kitchen with all stainless-steel appliances and glass cabinets, as well as a breakfast nook. From there she leads him down yet another corridor. “I’m guessing this is the bedroom.” She points to a closed door. “This is the office.” Camila nods toward an austere room with only a reading chair, a desk and two bookcases lined with legal books.

“You know your way around already.” Jared smiles.

“I checked the place out when I arrived. Professor apartments here are considered legendary.” Camila couldn’t help herself. She was eager to see Marshall’s apartment. All the students knew that the law school housed a handful of professors in Furman Hall, near Washington Square Park, but few have ever been able to visit them. Camila shoves away the looming memory of their morning together at her place, her body waking up to the possibility of more just being in his apartment.

Secretly, she found herself missing Marshall the other day. With a potential family crisis coming to the fore, she would’ve given anything to have someone to talk to, someone with insight into her near future. Unfortunately, after the way they left things the other day, she doesn’t think she could cross that line again.

“Thanks for working tonight,” Camila says as she helps him unpack.

“Please, don’t thank me. I should be the one thanking you. I need a break from L.”

“Why? What’s going on?”

Jared stops unpacking and turns to Camila. He holds up two fingers in front of her. “How many fingers?”

“Two.”

“So you haven’t gone blind.”

She shakes her head and laughs. “Why?”

“I can’t believe you haven’t noticed we’re living in the middle of a young adult romance. Felicity, that new bartender, keeps making googly eyes at Todd, who, by the way, finally cut that shaggy hair of his.”

“Do you think they’re . . . .” Camila smiles.

“Seriously, how can they not be? Did you notice how he’s spending more time out front than in his office? And he’s at L way more than any of his other places.”

A laugh escapes Camila. “You think they’re having sex on the bar?”

Jared covers his eyes. “I so don’t want that image in my head.
