Chapter 15
Waking before the sun, Lexie smiled as she felt Grayson spooned up against her. She ran her fingers along the top of his arm wrapped around her waist. With a wistful sigh, she climbed out of the warm bed, careful not to jostle his arm and wake him.
She grabbed her clothes from the floor and slipped quietly into the bathroom to dress. Tiptoeing across the carpet, she paused to watch him. His dark hair fell over his eye. His face was all angles and lines, like a carved Greek statue, and in strong contrast, he had a small spray of freckles across the bridge of his nose. Her eyes roamed down his jaw line covered in short dark whiskers, and focused on his mouth. She wanted desperately to climb back in beside him and feel those lips on her again.
Instead, she stepped out into the living room and closed the bedroom door behind her. She did have a shop to open after all, and she needed to get home to Ryan so Jordan could get to work. She walked to his desk and opened the drawer looking for a pen and a sheet of paper to leave him a note. Locating a pen, she opened another drawer in search of paper. She rummaged through, and paused when her hand made contact with a picture frame.
Curiosity had her pulling it out and she held it closer to the small desk lamp she’d turned on. She gasped. Grayson stood with his arms around a beautiful brunette in a soft pink tutu and stage make-up. Their eyes were bright and their smiles wide. Their love for each other leapt out of the photograph.
She dropped the framed picture onto the desk as the room began to spin. She braced herself against the edge of the desk, afraid she would pass out. It couldn’t be. It wasn’t possible.
Tears ran down her cheeks as she picked the photograph up and looked one more time. There was no question: it was Maggie. She turned the picture over and read “New York 2005.” Nothing made sense. Who in the hell was Grayson Hunter, really? Tucking it back in the drawer, she raced from the apartment; all thoughts of leaving him a note forgotten.
Still dazed, she’d managed to have her associate open the shop, drop Ryan off at his grandmother’s, and fool her brother into thinking her pale complexion was due to lack of sleep.
Sitting outside of Marissa’s house her head swirled with unanswered questions and disbelief. She struggled to remember the conversation she’d had with Maggie about her past.
Maggie had just started working for her, and Lexie had called a girl’s night at her place. They were sitting together, drinking wine, and grilling Maggie for information.
Maggie laughed. “Well, let’s see . . . I’m originally from Florida, I moved to New York after my parents died to pursue a career in dance. Th e stages of Broadway were just calling out to me.
