It was time.
And I was Elsa Cohen.
Which meant, when a golden opportunity presented itself, I wasn’t about to miss it.
I was going to grab on with both hands.
And ride it out.
CHAPTER12
YOU’RE HIM
Them
Him…
Hale wokethe morning after his date with Elsa when his phone rang.
His clock said it was just after five in the morning. He reached to take it off the charging pad, and saw the call was from Elsa.
He smiled to himself and put the phone to his ear while rolling to his back.
“Hey, baby,” he answered.
“Did I wake you?”
Fuck, she sounded good first thing in the morning.
“Yeah, but it’s okay.”
“I’m sorry. I thought you said you were a morning person.”
“Not after getting home at two in the morning from a great night with a beautiful woman who knows where to find perfect Peking duck and lets me steal second base on our second date.”
He heard her soft laughter.
“What are you doing up this early?” he asked.
“I’m always up this early.”
Of course she was.
“Making your mark,” he murmured.
“Absolutely,” she confirmed. “I’ll let you go back to sleep. I just wanted you to know I enjoyed last night.”
In other words, she was as committed as he was to no more miscommunication between them, either way.
“Me too,” he replied.
And he had. So much so, it was hard to leave, and she made it plain it was hard to let him go. But he didn’t want to rush them.
Nope.
He wanted to take his time with Elsa Cohen.
So he left.
