Sleep eluded me all night, but I got up and went to the gym for a hard workout bright and early. I had set an alarm for when I knew Brooke would wake up and sent her a text as soon as it went off. All night, Iâd had to stop myself from calling her again, so I thought I should win points for being so considerate by letting her sleep.
Me: Miss you, kitten.
Those three little dots popped up immediately, but several minutes passed without a reply. Was she being shy, or was she still pissed? And what had I done to upset her?
Replaying our conversations over the past few days, I came up with nothing. Iâd been so busy with work, and babysitting Luck in the evenings, that I hadnât had much time to call or text her. Henry gave me a daily report on what she and Bella did throughout the day, so I knew she hadnât done anything other than drop Bella off and pick her up after school. Her appointment wasnât until Friday, and Bellaâs karate class observation wasnât until Thursday.
A possibility filtered through my head, but I quickly laughed it off. No way Brooke was pissed at me because we hadnât talked more than a few minutes. Iâd basically had to demand she pick up whenever I called.
Damn it.
Of course that was why she was pissed. My little kitten was so used to people letting her down, and that was exactly what Iâd done without meaning to.
Groaning at my own stupidity, I hit connect as I walked into the back office at the gym.
âHello?â
Her voice hit me like a wrecking ball every time, knocking the air from my lungs while simultaneously easing all the tension in my body. Dropping into the chair behind the desk, I leaned back my sweaty head and closed my eyes. âGood morning, kitten. How did you sleep?â
âSome jerk woke me up last night, and then I couldnât fall back to sleep.â
âWhat youâre saying is you tossed and turned thinking about me all night,â I teased, hoping like a motherfucker that I was right.
âI didnât say that!â I loved how offended she sounded. Put out. And guilty. Jesus, she was adorable.
âNot out loud,â I agreed, grinning at the ceiling. âBut Iâm reading between the lines.â
âWow, Iâm impressed,â she sassed, her tone dry. âI didnât think you could read.â
Laughing in pure happiness at the insult, I rolled the chair closer to the desk. âI miss you and that smart mouth.â
âAnnoying,â she muttered under her breath.
âTell me you miss me too, kitten.â
âNo.â
âBecause you donât miss me, or because youâre mad that you miss me so much?â I held my breath, waiting for her answer.
âI-I have to go. Bellaââ
âBrooke,â I growled, cutting her off, no longer playing. This was too damn important. âAnswer me.â
A long silence stretched between us, but I wasnât hanging up until she told me what we both knew was the truth.
âIâm mad,â she whispered. âBecause I miss you.â
Breathing out raggedly,
