Great Lengths

“Katy, we’ll be back in the office on Monday.”

It was Friday morning and Jace and Lauren were getting ready to leave for Connecticut for a meeting. She was slightly nervous for multiple reasons.

First off, this was a chance to show her worth to Jace in front of others. He would have an idea that she knew what she was doing. Not that he ever said he didn’t believe in her or what she did, but it’d be nice if others saw it.

Second of all, she was still planning on spending the night with him. She had a bag at her apartment and they were detouring there first to get it. There was no chance in hell she was bringing it with her to work or having anyone see her pulling it out of her car.

As much as she was looking forward to this, she wasn’t looking forward to anyone knowing about it at work and was going to great lengths to prevent it.

“Can I call you if there is an emergency?” Katy asked Jace.

She hated the look being sent her way by Katy. One of jealousy and contempt. She wished she’d met Jace anywhere other than his office. Rushing down here showed her eagerness more than it should have.

“You know you can call me anytime there is an emergency,” Jace said, his tone not all that friendly. She didn’t see him like that often, but he had been short this morning at another time and she was wondering if maybe he was regretting their pending time together.

“I’m all set.”

The two of them rode down the elevator in silence, then made their way to the parking lot. She was going to get in his car and stopped. “I should bring my car home,” she said suddenly.

“Why?”

“Otherwise it’s going to be here all night. Someone might realize I never came back to get it. They could put it together that I was with you all night.”

He sighed. “I doubt anyone would put that together, but fine. I’ll follow you.”

She put her laptop in his car and then walked over to hers. He was taking his time pulling out, waiting for her indeed.

“I’ll be right back,” she said when he pulled behind her car in the parking lot of her apartment.

“You’re not going to let me come up?” he asked, looking around the apartment buildings where she lived.

“You can if you want. I just figured you’d be in a hurry.”

“We’ve got time.” He shut his car off and she waited for him, hoping her face didn’t fill with embarrassment. His
