IF SHE THOUGHT THAT HER saying no was going to stop me from trying, she was out of her mind. I had known that it wasn’t going to be easy to get her back, and part of me was glad she was making me work to show her that things would be different this time around. I would show her how important she was to me.

How much I loved her.

After Jamie’s haircut, something I had never gotten to be there for in the past, Ash couldn’t get rid of me fast enough. She kept telling Jamie that she had to stop by to see her boss, but I knew it was because she wanted some time on her own to think. While everything inside of me was screaming to keep her close, I didn’t argue with her when she left me on the street outside the salon she had been taking my son to for his entire life.

Jamie and I stood there, watching her taxi blend into the maze of other yellow cars before either of us moved. Then my kid looked up at me once he couldn’t see her any longer. “Do you have to go to work now?”

I took his hand, and we started walking in the direction of my office. “I have to stop by, buddy. I’m not working, though. I just have to talk to Uncle Brice.”

“That woman with too much perfume isn’t going to be there, is she?” he asked me with a suspicious expression on his face.

My lips twisted in a grimace. “God, I hope not.”

It was only a few blocks to my office building. Jamie kept me entertained with everything his mother had told him that morning when she had made her daily call to him. She hadn’t told him yet about her engagement, but I wasn’t worried about his reaction to Amber marrying Leo. The other guy had been a big part of his life for the last few years, and I knew they got along well. I couldn’t have asked for a better guy to become my son’s stepfather, even if my own relationship with the man was tense at best.

Once we made it through the metal detectors, we went straight up to my office. As soon as we stepped off, I saw Leah sitting behind her desk.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Brannon.”

“Leah.” I nodded as I walked around the receptionist and headed for my office. “Jamie, be good. Don’t bother Leah.”

“Okay.”

As I went down the hall toward my best friend’s office, I didn’t pause outside the secretaries’ shared office. I wasn’t in the mood to answer a hundred questions from Janice or deal with anything work-related right then. I was on a mission, one that might get me thrown out of the damn window, but I had to do this.

Brice’s door was open when I reached it. Normally, I would have walked straight in, but right then, I wasn’t sure how welcome I would be once I told him what I needed to.
