Page 14 of Meeting His Match


Font Size:  

“Meadow!” I call, but she either doesn’t hear me or ignores it.

Once I’m outside, it’s too late because there’s a line of cabs and Meadow jumps in the back of one and is pulling away from the curb before I can reach her.

“Fuck,” I growl, throwing my hands up. I have to go after her. Just then my phone rings, and I see it’s Mace. “What?” I snap a little harsher than I intended, but he ignores it.

“I’m in your office.”

“So?” I look up at the building like he can see me.

“You asked Nelly and me to meet you here after work. Where are you?”

I let out the world's longest sigh as I rub the bridge of my nose. “I forgot.”

Glancing inside, I see Nelly on the phone as she paces near the elevator. Although I don’t want to choose work over going after Meadow, I know that I’ll see her tomorrow, and I can explain everything. Nelly and her husband have been working around the clock to get us this information, and they have another case they need to start. It would be shitty to cancel now, even though it’s the last thing I want to do.

“Be up in a second,” I finally say before hanging up the phone and walking back inside.
