Chapter Fourteen

He’s spent more than half of his life doing exactly what you wanted him to do, Abby.

Brooding, Abigale stared out the window over the bay.

Usually when they came up to San Diego for one of the family things, they stayed with Zach’s folks. There was even a room that Denise had set aside for Abigale. Abigale wouldn’t go so far as to say it was her room, but whenever she was here, that was the room she stayed in.

But Zach had told her he had reserved a room for them at a hotel and she had been just fine with that.

It had been . . . odd . . . all night.

Even after Sebastian had left, not long after the presents were opened, things had felt off. She suspected it was her, but still, she couldn’t brush off that odd, uneasy feeling.

Zane had kept his distance and Denise had chattered about everything under the sun. Nobody else had said a single thing about her being there with Zach. But everybody had watched them.

It was almost like they were seeing things she wasn’t.

He’s spent more than half of his life doing exactly what you wanted him to do, Abby.

A warm pair of arms came around her waist and she closed her eyes, sinking back against the warmth of Zach’s body. Part of her wanted to turn to him, curl her arms around him, and just get lost in him so she didn’t have to think.

But her mind just wasn’t going to shut up right now.

“What was Sebastian talking about, Zach?” she asked. She’d tried to get the answer out of him earlier but he’d brushed it off. She wasn’t about to let him do it this time.

She felt his chest rise and fall against her back, felt the warmth of his breath stirring her hair. One hand smoothed down and curved over her hip. “Abby, Seb doesn’t even know what he’s talking about half the time. How should I know?” he murmured. He rubbed his lips over her neck and that felt so good, sending small little shivers down her spine. “Right now, he’s so fixed on the idea of dragging me back here, I don’t think he can see straight, much less think straight. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’d heard some of those stupid Bachelor rumors and thought maybe he’d see if he couldn’t work it from his end.”

“So you have no idea what he meant when he said I made you leave California.”

His hands curled around her waist. “Abigale . . . I’m pretty damn certain you were in Tucson for months before I saw the ad for the shop. You aren’t the one who told me to buy it. You aren’t the one who put the idea in my head of opening my own place.”

Some of the tension eased out of her and she managed to breathe a little easier.

“Is that what’s been bothering you?” he asked.

Licking her lips, she shrugged. “Some. Although I couldn’t figure out what the hell he was ranting about.
