Chapter 36

Emma

“Miss Owens. It’s good to see you.” Lester tugs on the handle of one of the lobby doors. “How was your day?”

Long and emotionally draining.

“Memorable,” I answer honestly. “What about you? How has your day been?”

He purses his lips together. “Mrs. Fields in 3A has a new dog. Suffice it to say we are not friends yet.”

He holds out his hand. I spot a faint red spot near the base of his thumb.

“Did the dog bite you?”

“Nip.” He opens his mouth to bare his teeth. “It was a nip, but Mrs. Fields felt terrible about it. I’ll be dining on a juicy steak tonight at my favorite establishment uptown courtesy of her.”

None of this is my business, but Lester doesn’t seem to care about that.

“How is Mr. Owens?” He tilts his head. “Any word on the wedding?”

I slide my phone into my bag. I promised Lester that I’d show him any pictures Drake sent me of his wedding, but guilt is getting in the way of that.

How can I show this man the beautiful photo of my brother and Jane if my parents haven’t even seen it?

Silently cursing Drake for putting me in this position, I sigh. “They were married earlier today. Drake couldn’t be happier.”

“No one deserves happiness more than him.” Reaching into the front pocket of his pants, he tugs out his phone. “I’ll send him a congratulatory text.”

This is my cue to run, so that’s what I do.

“Have a good night, Lester,” I call over my shoulder as I hurry toward an open elevator door.

“You as well, Miss Owens,” he sounds back just as I step inside and press the button for the twelfth floor.
