Chapter Fifteen

Ian was in the middle of a crisis. Judging by his messages, he wasn’t going to calm down anytime soon. He was freaking out about the whole prenup requirement to regain control of his finances, and wanted me to accompany him to his cousin’s law office.

I’d been planning to hang around the Tremonte until Kay had prepared her list of angry and annoyed employees, but Ian needed me and I figured Kay could do with a little time to get the task done.

Ian texted me the address of his cousin’s office, and I agreed to meet him there. She had her own independent practice on a strip mall on one of the highways leading out of the city.

When I arrived, I parked in the lot outside and sized it up. Amber had a pretty big unit for a one-woman operation, next to an insurance broker on one side, and a nail salon on the other.

The lot was quiet, with the exception of one crazy guy. The crazy guy being Ian. He was outside, pacing back and forth while he waited for me. He had his phone up against his ear, and even before I heard a word I could tell from his body language that he was talking to Sally. Something about the achingly hopeful look on his face and the energetic pace of his steps that gave it away for me.

“…I’m doing this for you…”

Ian lifted a hand and waved at me absentmindedly, clearly not minding that I could hear his conversation.

“…I don’t care about that. I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait for you as long as it takes. Until the end of time.”

Wow. Ian was something else. Offering to wait for her until the end of time? How long had I waited for Ryan? According to Nanna, I was broken up with him the second he left with just a note. But it was only now that I was actually coming to terms with it myself.

“…for us! I’m doing it for us!”

Ian shoved the phone back into his pocket and turned to face me. His cheeks were rosy red, and he moved faster than usual with a nervous, restless energy.

“Tiffany!” he said so loudly it was almost a yell. “We’re going to do this. We’re going to tell my cousin to get this sorted out. Now! There’s going to be no prenuptial agreement, and they’re going to release control of my finances. No ifs, no buts, no more messing around. It’s my money and I’m going to get it!”

This was the most worked up about something I’d seen him in a long time. The normally docile Ian was burning with passion today. But I didn’t want him to be starting any blazes on my watch.

“Good on you. But let’s try and do this calmly, okay? We don’t want to upset your cousin or your parents.”

I held out my arms in a gently lowering motion to try and get him to settle. It didn’t work.

“Sometimes you gotta smash a few eggs to make an omelet, Tiffany.
