I thought I would cry, thought I would collapse into a puddle on the floor, weeping uncontrollably until Nessa came home and discovered she was going to have to scrape me up.

But I didn’t.

Instead, I swallowed around the lump in my throat, gratefully accepted the numbness that had begun to wash over me, then took a shower and got ready for work.

On my way to the train station, I ducked into Starbucks and treated myself to a venti caramel latte, sipping the steaming hot drink as I rode the subway to Midtown.

There was a gnawing pain in my stomach, the kind of gnawing pain that let me know something was wrong, but it was like I was feeling it through some kind of haze, as if my body was disassociating itself from what had just happened.

He can’t stay away from you.

He’d said it himself.

He would text me, I was sure of it.

I pulled my phone out of my bag and clutched it in my hand, just in case.

But by the time I got to work, I hadn’t heard from him.

I’d planned on telling Kiersten about Dean Bellingham’s invitation as soon as I got in, but her office door was closed, and so I headed to my cubicle and checked my inbox. Sure enough, Kiersten had sent me some changes Callum had requested for his tour, along with a slew of edits to the catalog copy for Jojo Kye’s book.

I was done with all of her requests by lunch.

I spent my break with a chicken cobb salad and an iced tea from a Café Metro, somehow scoring one of wrought iron tables on the sidewalk. I pushed the salad around on my plate and flipped the top of my iced tea around on the table absentmindedly.

I still hadn’t heard from Callum.

I missed him.

I reached into my bag and pulled out the contract he’d left sitting on my kitchen table, took a deep breath, and slid the pages out of the envelope.

There it was, all laid out in black and white.

The expectations he’d had for me.
