RACHEL

“Everything okay?” I asked.

Wynter had shocked me by calling out of the blue, but mostly, I was just relieved she had. I was trying very hard not to be awkward.

Why was Rain the one who got all the charm in my family, huh?

“Not really. But I don’t expect things will be easy, not with Dad still in the hospital.”

I grimaced at Wynter’s reply but tried to keep my distaste for her adoptive father out of my tone as I murmured, “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“I’m struggling with some of my ethics homework.”

Surprised, I gushed, “Call me when you’re back from school, and we’ll talk. I’ll guide you through it.”

“Thank you,” was Wynter’s shy retort, but it was almost drowned out by the sound of the bell. “I’d better go. Lunch period is over.”

“Speak tonight.” I hesitated. “Stay safe out there.”

“I will. Thanks, Rachel. Bye.”

“Bye.”

I scanned my screen for any missed notifications and saw a couple from Rex, one that was telling me he was on his way to Manhattan, and another describing what he’d do to me if I did anything to agitate O’Donnelly Sr.

It involved his dick, several orgasms, and a potentially bright pink ass.

Before my conversation with Indy about her and Cruz’s relationship, I might have taken offense at the idea of being spanked, but… with Rex, maybe I’d like that too?

He wasn’t happy about my attending today’s meeting, but he hadn’t attempted to stop me from coming either.

That, more than anything, pleased me.

Nothing had changed on a professional level where our relationship was concerned. He hadn’t started treating me differently because I was with him now. Aside from, of course, the odd ‘babe’ or ‘baby’ spoken in front of the guys.

I could deal with that. Being cosseted, on the other hand, would drive me nuts.

There were a few more messages, some from Parker—only just getting over her snit with me and that was thanks to a gift basket from Godiva—a couple from Susana, my paralegal, and then one from Craig.

I pursed my lips at the sight of his name on my screen, and my thumb hovered over the message for a few seconds. One of the texts was a photo.

That I wasn’t happy to hear from him saddened me.

I should have missed his and Scott’s presence in my life, should have been grateful that he was reaching out.

Mostly, I was just wary.

I had a full schedule, was exhausted from that, had a new relationship, a new world, as a result, to maneuver, and they were just dead weight.

Because I was a sucker, the guilt from that realization had me opening the message.

Craig: Meet Sarah. She was born last night at 4AM. 5lb. 4oz. She’s a few weeks premature and has a couple of developmental issues. That’s why she’s in the incubator.
