Chapter 12

For MaKayla, Friday went much the same as Thursday, except she started her day at Gabe’s office and spent her afternoon at the hotel. Once again, Gabe met her in the lobby, made her tea, handed her pain pills, and walked her to her office.

As she was straightening up her files so she could head to the hotel, Gabe came in and dropped a white lunch sack on her desk. “You can eat it in the car on the way over.”

“Smells good.”

The worry lines on Gabe’s forehead evaporated. “If you can smell it, then you must be getting better.”

Those lines had been there the whole week, and she’d thought they were a permanent fixture. It hadn’t occurred to her that he worried that much over her well-being. She couldn’t pin this guy down. One minute he was hovering over her, and the next he was handing her his credit card and an expense account. They shared a few laughs but didn’t share anything personal. The whole situation had her second-guessing herself. Part of the problem was the way her pulse spiked when Gabe entered the room. She didn’t know if she should hold his hand or hand him receipts.

Another puzzler was Gabe’s almost fanatical and fastidious devotion to charity work. Rob had explained that Gabe leveraged as much of the company profits as possible into charities to offset taxes. It was a huge win-win as far as MaKayla was concerned, but there was something in Gabe’s demeanor that changed when he talked about the abuse center. She suspected that underneath his tie and button-up shirt was a tender heart. She hoped she could spend more time with that Gabe and less time with the boss.

“I think I am improving,” she agreed. “It was probably just a twenty-four hour bug that held on because I’ve been so busy.”

They walked out to the elevator together and Gabe pressed the button. “I have a dinner meeting tonight, so your driver will get you home.”

MaKayla suppressed her disappointment. Gabe had given her much more of his time than she deserved lately. He probably had to catch up on a lot. “That’s fine.”

The elevator opened and they both climbed inside.

“What time do you think you’ll be over tomorrow?” he asked.

“The movers are coming at seven. It shouldn’t take long. I rented a furnished place, so most of the furniture stays. Maybe ten?” She thought about all the things she was going to need to take with her to Gabe’s and mentally started filling and labeling boxes. It was going to be a hectic morning.

“Everything’s ready. Hopefully you’ll be settled before noon.”

“I should be. Most of my things are going to storage. My sister, Brooke, said she’d help, and Trish will be there to direct the movers to the storage unit BMB set up.” She put a tentative hand on his arm. “You don’t mind if Brooke comes, do you? She knows about us—I mean, the prenup.”

Gabe’s eyebrows went up.

“She’s a lawyer—well, almost a lawyer—and I wanted her to review it for me.
