I could hardly see straight while Max and I put ourselves back together, but as I hiked my skirt down, I suddenly realized we had fucked in broad daylight and one entire side of the office was made of windows. One tall building down the street had a view inside.

“Please tell me those windows have that reflective stuff on them,” I said, feeling mortified.

Max laughed. “Of course. I’m not sharing you with anyone ever again. Not even visually.” He gave my ass another smack. “Now get dressed. We need to talk.”

“Ouch!” I stood up straight and shot him a look, rubbing out the sting.

He winked. “There’s more where that came from if you don’t change your mind and tell me this goodbye bullshit is behind—”

His phone rang in his pocket. He slid it out and glanced at the screen. “My apologies. I need to take this.” His expression melted from freshly fucked and playful to ice-cold serious. I didn’t like it one bit.

“Sure,” I said.

He put the phone to his ear, left the room, and shut the door behind him.

Nervous, I quickly straightened out my skirt and walked over to the window, looking for any sign of peeping Toms.

“Lily.” Max’s deep voice filled the room, and his solemn tone immediately put me on edge.

Crap. “What’s wrong?”

He lifted his beautiful dark brows. “Do you remember my sister?”

I’d never met her, nor did I remember her name. The only thing I recalled was that she’d disowned her family at some point, including Max, simply to extract their crazy mother from her life. Max had stuck it out with his mom mainly because she owned the majority share of Cole Cosmetics. As for his father, I got the impression that the man never stepped up for his children, perhaps a victim himself of his wife’s sadistic personality.

“The last you mentioned, you were looking for her,” I replied. At least, I thought that was right. He’d only brought her up once or twice and not in great detail.

“Yes. And that was the private detective I hired six months ago. He just found her.”

Then why didn’t Max look happy? “That’s great news. I’m so happy for you. But…?”

“She was so difficult to track down because she got married—took another last name—and moved to Argentina.”

I suddenly realized how disconnected I’d truly been from Max’s life these past months. While I’d been living in my world, trying to get my life back on track, he’d been doing the same.

Idiot. You started a boutique and got a shitty apartment. Max had been trying to lay the foundation of a new life for the two of us and reconcile with his estranged sister. Shut up, fugly voice. You’re a stupid loser.

“That’s good, right? You found her,” I said.

“She’s sick.”

Oh no. “What kind of sick?”

“She’s pregnant and something’s wrong—the detective is having a hard time finding out details. He’s not family, and I’ve given him strict instructions not to make himself known.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I have to leave.”

My body recoiled with the thought, but I couldn’t be selfish.
