Mason didn’t really expect Livvy to call him, although she now had his number. But he kept checking his phone. Even when he turned up the ringer, set it on the kitchen counter, then went into the other room to try to write a few pages, he still got up to check the phone.

She wasn’t going to call. It was too late now, nearly ten o’clock, and besides, she was probably trying to figure out how to politely tell him to leave her alone. He, of course, would oblige, but he wouldn’t be happy about it. Yes, it was the right thing to do. Not only because of the boyfriend situation or the fact his home was in San Diego, but what she’d said to him had made him think. Deeply. And they weren’t pleasant thoughts.

He had lived a loveless life for years. His mother had been the only one he’d felt unconditional love from. Sure, his father loved him on the level that he could—a level that pretty much only connected them by biology. And his agent, Jolene? If he stopped writing altogether, their relationship would eventually dissolve to annual holiday cards—from her side. He’d never sent a holiday card in his life, and he wasn’t about to start now.

When the lawsuit had blown up in his face, it was true that there hadn’t been anyone there for him. The fact hadn’t occurred to him, thus it hadn’t bothered him one bit. Until now. Was he subhuman or something? No. If he were, he wouldn’t be emotionally affected by things like lawsuits, name slandering, and looming deadlines. He’d be able to work without caring about much else. Get his manuscripts turned in, collect royalty checks, pay the bills.

Dammit. He did care. He cared that he’d become such a recluse. He cared that Livvy might right now be wondering how to let him down. He cared about her and her small-town life, and his aching heart proved it.

Mason paced the floors of the cabin, walking from the plush rug to the expensive hardwood to the Italian tile, then back to the rug that muffled his frustrated steps.

He liked Livvy.

Sure, she had flaws like any other person. The biggest one by the name of Slade. But her complexities were endearing and somewhat adorable. And that kiss in the library... was the most authentic and genuine experience he’d ever had. Her desire for him had been palpable, and this was why he couldn’t write tonight. Livvy had bewitched him.

She’d crept her way into the corners of his life and blown away the cobwebs.

He needed to speak to her, even it if was to hear the dreaded words. He needed to have closure on what had been building between them for the past weeks. Perhaps they could come to some sort of agreement. She’d stay at her end of the library, and he’d stay at his end. He’d wish her well with the doc and everything else in her life at Pine Valley.

She’d read his book when it finally released next summer and maybe email him through his website.
