“YOU SURE YOU want me to just drop you off and not wait? Because I know my sister and there is a ninety-nine percent chance you’ll be paying Uber to drive your ass back to Sea Breeze and that won’t be cheap.” Nate sounded serious when he warned me. He’d laughed when I told him to take me to Ophelia’s. Then when he realized I wasn’t joking he seemed more concerned.

“Does Uber even serve this area?” Bliss asked, not sounding as if she was liking the idea of me being dropped off either. “Maybe you should go see if Ophelia will let you in before we leave.”

I didn’t want them to sit out here while I went to the door. I wasn’t so sure Ophelia was going to let me in either, but if they were here to witness this, she may send me packing easier. I’d let her leave earlier without saying more because it was a conversation I wanted to have in private.

We’d had to wait to find out if Saffron needed a ride or not. Bliss and Nate had been ready to leave, but Saffron wasn’t concerned with anyone but herself. It had taken more time than necessary. My concern now was that Ophelia could be asleep. It had taken too damn long to get out of there.

“It’s fine. Y’all go,” I said, opening the car door and climbing out.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Nate drawled trying not to sound amused for Bliss’s sake. She wasn’t amused at all and wanted to wait. I could see it in her expression.

I stepped up on the sidewalk and waited until they drove off. They didn’t need to witness this. Once they were gone, I headed for the door and rang the bell to the loft. There was a chance she was asleep and if she was, I figured I’d Uber to Destin and get a hotel there for the night. Then try again tomorrow.

Until I talked to her, I wasn’t going back to Sea Breeze. I knew I should let this go and forget it. But I couldn’t. Seeing her again tonight solidified that I couldn’t stay away from her. I didn’t want to. Even if it was for her best interest that I keep my distance, I couldn’t fucking do it.

“Why are you here, Eli?” Her voice came over the speaker connected to the doorbell.

“To talk,” I replied, hoping I didn’t have to do it over the damn video camera she had attached to her door.

“We talked. What else is there to say?” Her voice was raspy and I wondered if I had woken her up.

“A lot . . . a lot of shit I should have said before.”

She didn’t respond to that right away. I wasn’t sure if she was cutting me off or if she’d fallen back asleep. When the seconds turned into a minute then two, I was about to ring again and start my talk right here on this damn sidewalk.
