CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Conor

I can’t decide which feels worse. Missing her the moment I hear the cab pull away, or not having Valentine near me while he sits at the front door pining for her too.

I call him from my office but he only whines and growls, telling me what I already know.

I messed up somehow. I blew the one chance I had.

Valentine doesn’t bear a grudge though, and after a while, he feels my emotions enough to come try and cheer me up.

I’ve been staring at my open laptop for an hour, vacantly assessing some digital floor plans but having no real plans of my own.

No idea how I could even try to get Rachel to come back.

I didn’t even get to ask where she was moving to. It occurs to me that I could and would definitely move in a heartbeat if it meant I could be closer to her.

They’re not moving to another country as far as I can tell. I could take Valentine with me, move anywhere. I work mostly from home anyways.

The thought pleases me, I even feel my mouth twitching into a smile.

The old Conor Fox thinking is starting to come around again.

I always get what I want in the end, and I don’t plan on letting someone as special as Rachel slip through my fingers just because she’s moving.

If she won’t move in with me straight away, there are always other ways and means for me to be closer to her.

I’ve certainly got the means. I just need to find the way.

Fixing Valentine and me some breakfast and watching him tiptoe through the fresh snow before I give him his privacy afterward, I sip coffee until it hits me.

The smile on my face is a strong one, and I can feel my head nodding.

I leave the back door open a little and head back to my office.

If they’re moving, the house or wherever they live must be coming up for lease or sale, surely.

A standard online search reveals Rachel’s dad, David Beckett.

I grimace slightly, feeling a pang in my stomach at the sight of his profile picture.

He hasn’t aged well.

But I don’t care about that, I need to know where he lives.

Nothing.

It’s Friday morning, and probably still too early to start making calls, but I try a few of my close contacts. People who I know will pick up the phone if it’s me.

“Did you try the phone book?” My third attempt asks, sounding more than a little pissed at being woken up in the middle of the night. On speed dial, I forgot he’s in another country.

It’s so simple, and I laugh at myself for being so shortsighted.

I’m so wrapped up in thinking about Rachel I don’t even think to look her dad up in the phone book.

I don’t even remember if I even have a phone book.

Checking the kitchen drawers by the phone, I find one.

I also notice Valentine’s taking his sweet time too and stand by the open door calling out for him, feeling that same sense of dread coming back over me.
