THIS TIME WHEN I HEARD the knock, I knew it was Polly. Why the hell was my pulse racing so hard? She meant nothing to me.

I wanted to rush to the door, but I made myself take it slowly. I had to be calm about this. We weren't a couple, not even an estranged couple. A few days, that was all it'd been, so why did I feel like I now had a huge hole in my life? I had to get over this thing and get over it fast.

She stepped into the room without even looking at me. She looked like she was walking to her own execution. Hell, was it that hard for her to apologize to me? I wasn't asking that much.

She stood just inside the doorway, her arms folded over her chest.

"I'm sorry," she said. "I didn't mean to embarrass you onstage."

I nodded. I wasn't sure if she saw that, though. She stared at the carpet as though those green swirls were the answer to all life's problems. I wanted her to look up. If she looked at me, if she gave me one sign, I'd tell her it was all okay. Just one tiny sign. But she didn't look up.

"Jax said you wanted me to ask you for another chance. If we can get my cousin out here to fill in for Miles, I'd really appreciate it if you let us stay on the tour."

So formal. There was nothing there. Nothing at all. Just this stiff formality. I couldn't do a damn thing. Everything about her was calling to me, despite her stiffness. Her soft skin, her silky hair, even the way she'd folded her arms.

"If you can do that, I'll listen to you play. If I think she's good enough, you can stay on the tour. You can pay for her flight out here. If she works out, we'll reimburse you. If not, then we'll pay for you and Jax to fly home."

I sounded like a cold bastard even to myself, but I wasn't sure how else I could play this. I'd thought everything was good between us, but that fragile thing had shattered so easily. I couldn't even meet her halfway. I wasn't prepared to make a fool of myself just to have her reject me. She was the one who'd screwed things up. She should be making the first step. But she obviously didn't want to do that.

"That works for me," she said.

With that, she moved to the door, then she hesitated for a moment. I wanted her to turn, to look at me. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted after that, but there had to be something. She was being all business, and that was what I wanted, surely. All along, I'd wanted her to act more professionally. I'd gotten my wish, and now it hurt like hell.

She inhaled, then turned the doorknob. Without even a goodbye, she left.

After she'd gone, this suite seemed way too big for me. What the hell was I meant to do? I was too worked up to sleep.
