“Darren?”
He turned around.
“You said that your therapist suggested youandTracy should apologize?”
“Oh yeah. We found out that you and Liam both lived here, so we drove up together.”
I looked toward his car and didn’t see anyone. “And where is Tracy?”
“I dropped her off at Liam’s work. I think she’s waiting for me at a coffee place down the street from there.”
“Does that mean she found him?”
“Yeah. She said it didn’t go well.”
“Okay.” I shut the door, not bothering to say good-bye, and grabbed my phone to call Liam.
He didn’t answer again, and a sense of dread settled over me.
Tracy had gone to talk to him, and now, he wasn’t answering my texts or calls. This wasn’t good.
TWENTY-TWO
CHLOE
It wasn’t until around ten o’clock in the evening that there was a knock at my door. I peeked out of the side window, relieved to see that it was Liam.
I swung open the door. “Why didn’t you use your key?” I asked as I stepped aside.
He slowly entered, as if he was waiting for something. “I didn’t know if I should since I’d pretty much ghosted you.” He held up his phone. “I’m sorry I missed all your calls and messages.”
“Come and sit down.”
“You’re not mad at me?”
I sat on the couch, hoping he’d sit next to me. “More worried than mad.”
He collapsed beside me. “I’m sorry I worried you.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
He huffed out a breath and ran his fingers through his hair. “Tracy came to see me today.” He seemed to watch me to see what my reaction would be.
“I know.”
“You do?” His face was full of surprise.
“Yeah. Darren came to see me.”
Liam’s jaw clenched. “That son of a bitch.”
“Actually, his mom is quite nice and took my side when we broke up.”
“Chloe, it’s not the time to joke.”
I held up my hand in surrender. “You’re right. I’m sorry.” I slid my palm over his fist and squeezed. “What happened today?”
“I hadn’t spoken to her in five years. And she just showed up…out of the blue. And apologized for cheating on me.”
