“Evidently not.”
“Good.” I kissed her again, cradling her face in my hands, then pulled back to meet her beautiful gaze. “Because I’m not letting you go again, Grace.”
“I’m literally leaving right now,” she replied.
“I’m not still doing it,” I said, smiling at her. “Text me when you land and get home?”
She nodded, and I kissed her one last time before I had to let her go.
“Bye,” she said softly, and a hint of sadness clouded her vision.
“I’ll see you soon,” I promised her as she stepped into line and was swallowed by all the other people trying to get there.
And I meant it.
I would see her soon.
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE – GRACE
…Don’t Have To Come To An End
Amber had chosen to spend the weekend with her mum, and that meant coming home to an empty house.
That was what I was dreading the most.
The emptiness of my house.
Glenroch Castle had always been so alive. Even if it was the damn bird chasing after me, there was always something happening. So many people were there all the time, and while I imagined that could be exhausting to live with, there was a part of me that envied it.
Maybe I needed to get a cat.
Because, despite her threat, Amber had not gotten a cat.
I was a little upset about that.
All right, fine.
I’d been a little upset all day. Nobody could blame me—it’d been chaos from start to finish, and all the things I’d wanted to do today had been thrown out of the window and unceremoniously stomped on.
Now, instead of spending one last night at the castle, I was here.
Standing in the middle of my living room.
Plotting how to kill Amber because she hadn’t set the alarm like I’d said.
Sigh.
I left my suitcase where it was near the sofa and went to the kitchen to check it. There wasn’t a lot of food here, and now I was wondering if Amber had been home at all over the last week.
Probably not. That would involve her grocery shopping, and she hated that more than anything in the world.
Which, sadly for me, meant there was no food to welcome me home. So I was going to have to order some. I wasn’t entirely mad about that since I didn’t have the energy to cook, but now I had to decide what to order, and that was overwhelming.
Naturally, I was going to avoid that as long as possible.
And get out of these plane clothes.
I trudged upstairs to my room for some fresh clothes, then quickly jumped in the shower to rinse off my body. I didn’t need any plane germs on me for any longer than necessary, and I was over wearing jeans.
