“Which do you want?”
“You listening? Because I’m only going to say this once,” she said.
“I’m all ears.”
“You’re taking me back to my apartment so I can pack. And then we’re getting in your car and going back to Boston. There’s shit from my place I need that isn’t here, and I’m not leaving until I have it.”
“What about your job?”
“I have a damn business degree, Grant. I can work anywhere,” she said.
“What about your apartment?”
“I’ll take the money out of my savings to break the lease.”
“And your car?”
“A heaping piece of junk. It won’t make it to Boston. I’ll sell it to a junkyard or something.”
“What about your family?”
She paused, her eyes dancing between mine before she drew in a deep breath.
“They’ve got cars of their own. If they want to see me, they can come visit.”
I chuckled and shook my head as I looked out over the ocean. I felt Theresa’s smile warming my body as I took in the sight. This beaut
iful woman, who was shorter than me by at least a foot, was telling me what to do. And I had to admit, I liked her plan. I shook my head and looked back down at her, finding her smile so big it was almost closing her eyes.
“I love you. You know that?” I asked.
She shook her head as her smile faded, then her hand came up and cupped my cheek.
“If you ever think about playing the martyr for me again, you’ll regret it,” she said.
Then she stood on her tiptoes, brought her lips to mine, and warmed my body with hers as the sheet dropped to the floor at her feet.
CHAPTER 31
THERESA
I called Jane from the car as we were cruising toward my apartment. I had so much to fill her in on it was crazy. This business trip had taken her a lot longer than I figured it would, and the karmic part of all this was that I’d be on my way to Boston by the time she got back.
She needed to at least know I wasn’t going to be here.
“I swear, I’m going to ream my boss for not getting me a better phone plan,” Jane said.
“Then you’re really going to be mad when I tell you what I have to tell you,” I said.
I looked over at Grant and found him grinning as his arm hung out the window of his car.
“Do you want me to start with the good or the bad?” I asked.
“Tell me whatever it is I’ve missed from front to back.”
“Well, you know Grant and I were hooking up.”
Grant ticked an eyebrow into the air, and it made me giggle.
