Brooke stared up at the ceiling, wide awake. She had been doing so for ten minutes, willing herself to sleep, but the longer she lay the more on edge she felt. A hundred words seemed to hang in the air unsaid, and she couldnât sleep while they were hovering there.
The trip to Highfield had left her in a weird mood. It was unfortunate that Holly had been there to bear the brunt of it. Not that she had handled it badlyâshe had been more than gracious, and understanding, and Brooke was this close to breaking and spilling everything to her like a broken faucet. The only thing keeping her from doing so was the fact she was still Hollyâs landlord, and still planned to complete the deal with Heartspring as soon as municipal services were back up and running.
But she said sheâd be there if I needed to talkâ¦
It would be the shoddiest of behaviour, thoughâleaning on Holly for emotionalâ¦well, if not âsupportâ, certainly âventingâ, while making plans to kick her out of her shop and actively endanger her business. Listen to yourself, âactively endangerâ. Youâre letting her get to you.
Brooke was letting Holly get to her in more ways than one. Though this was the first time theyâd shared a room it wasnât the first time sheâd lain awake thinking about her. She didnât know whyâHolly wasnât her usual âtypeâ, though given the spotty record she had with women maybe that was where the appeal came from. She was so unobtainable as to be almost mythical, and so daydreaming about her was nothing but harmless indulgence. Until tonight, when she was mere feet away, the sound of her slow, regular breathing as distracting as a crash of thunder.
Enough. Youâre not here to make friends and youâre certainly not here to pick up. Make the deal and leave. The sooner youâre out of this place the better.
That was what her mother wouldâve done, after all. Made up her mind and stuck to it no matter what, even if it meant hurting someone else. The thought sent a chill straight through her.
