Chapter Five

Marisa

I thrust the toilet brush into the last of the toilets, feeling sick to my stomach as I scrub it clean. I should have known this wouldn’t work out. I mean, he took me on a helicopter ride. The moment I laid eyes on it, I should have known that we were too different.

But I stupidly let my desire for him take over my common sense.

When I push my cleaning cart out of the women’s bathroom, I’m worried that Gabe is still going to be there. To my relief, he’s not. I walk over to Lisa and ask her what she needs me to do next. She tells me I can start vacuuming and points to a small gray vacuum by her side. I plug it in and start running it over the floor, trying to keep my focus entirely on the boring pattern on the carpet.

But that only works for so long. And eventually I find myself face-to-face with an office door that has Gabe’s name on it.

His office door is already ajar. I push it open the rest of the way and start to vacuum the space. His office feels perfectly like him—powerful and refined—and of course it has an incredible view overlooking the city.

On his desk, there’s a couple framed photos. One is of him and his sisters. Another is of a bigger group—maybe it’s from a family reunion or something. It makes my heart hurt looking at it, because I’m never going to be a part of something like that with him. I know he said that stuff about how he doesn’t care what I do, but come on. Of course he’d say that; he’s not an asshole.

I force myself to look away from the photos and finish vacuuming the last corner of the room. Then I walk out, pushing the droning vacuum in front of me, and I don’t look back.
