I press my phone to my chest and smile.

So, he was thinking of me.

That feeling of dread that’s weighed me down most of the day lifts, and a hope I haven’t felt in months spurs to life.

Chapter Twenty-four

Garrin

It’s been two days since Isla woke up at my place, and I swear I still smell her perfume. I straighten my Wall Street Journal again, ignoring the lingering scent.

“Damn it.” I toss the paper to the other side of my large kitchen island and it slides along the marble, falling off the edge.

I resisted the urge to reach out to her later on Sunday when I got no response to my text. Maybe she was pissed that I left without waking her, but if I did message her again, I’d just look like a pussy and she’d think she had me by the balls. But now it’s Tuesday morning and the need to see her feels like a burning sensation in my chest that’s only getting worse as the days pass.

The worst part is that I’m pretty sure my need to see her has nothing to do with what my father wants from her and one hundred percent to do with what I want.

“Fuck it.” I’ve never shied away from shit that scares me and I’m not gonna start now. I type out a text inviting her to meet me for lunch and pocket my phone.

Standing from the chair, I straighten out my tie.

Normally I’d be reading the paper and having my coffee down in the Titans’ Den, but I’ve been avoiding it since the weekend. I’m sure all those jackasses have heard about how Isla spent the night here on Saturday, and I don’t feel like hearing their bullshit.

Langley pulls away from Titans’ Tower when my phone vibrates in my pocket. I slide it out to find a response from Isla, but it’s not the one I want.

Isla: Sorry, we’re working straight through. Ford has a bunch of meetings and functions to attend today. Maybe later in the week if our schedule doesn’t fill in?
