Light streams in from the window, and I blink a few times, confused as to why the sun seems so high and why I fell asleep in my chair. Isn’t it Tuesday? Did we have the day off from work?

Where is Max with her sardonic attitude and a cup of coffee?

Everything from the day before hits me like an arrow up the ass.

“Shit.”

I jerk forward and dart my gaze around, looking for my phone. I remember through the thick fog of my hangover that I had it at the door to my apartment, then got myself a drink…

I shuffle over to the wet bar—definitely drank too much scotch last night—and see my phone on the counter. Dead.

No wonder my alarm didn’t go off. And without Max coming here to wake me up, I must have overslept.

I muss my hair as I glance at the clock on the kitchen stove. Ten in the morning.

“Shit.”

I’m twenty minutes late for work. Never mind that I’ve overslept and am nowhere near ready. And I have no idea what appointments I’ve missed because my phone is dead. I plug it into the wall and quickly turn it on. Without waiting for it to power up fully, I run to my bathroom and take a shower in record time. I don’t even bother to dry off before wrapping a white towel around my hips and padding back out to my phone, meaning to check it.

Then my front door opens, and Max stands there with a shocked expression on her face. Her eyes go immediately to my toweled waist, then up my abs to my face as her cheeks turn redder and redder.

Her eyes narrow, and something like hurt flashes in them.

“I see now why you’re late to work,” she says in a cold voice.

I blink, glance down at my towel, and realize where her thoughts must be. “It’s not what it looks like. I just had a little too much to drink and spent the night in my chair.” I gesture behind me to make my point. “And I apparently can’t function without you.”

I wish I hadn’t been so truthful in that last statement.

“Trust me,” I add, to appeal to her better senses.

“So Nadya isn’t here?” she asks.

I make a face of disgust. “Nadya? You mean that angry woman I woke up in bed with? Why the hell would she be here?”

She shakes her head and gives a short laugh. “You really did just wake up, didn’t you?”

“Yeah,” I say in a wry tone gesturing to my mostly naked body. “Why?”

She regards me for a long moment before nodding toward my phone. “Check the news.”

I’m almost afraid as I pick up my phone, unlock it and then thumb over to the gossip sites.

CUPID BREAKS PARTNER’S HEART, the headline says, accompanied by a picture of Max and me waiting for the limo outside the museum. She looks clearly distressed, and the framing of the photo seems to have me far away from her.

“Slow news day?” I ask with a fake smile.
