“Yeah, I know. It’s complicated.” I wanted to tell her the truth, but I wasn’t sure who to tell what at this point. I was still trying to sort through the situation for myself.
What the hell. I need someone to talk to.
“So you remember that guy I was shacking up with in Hawaii?”
“Yeah?”
“Well, it was my boss, Damian.”
“Are you freaking serious?”
“Yeah, and it’s complicated right now. I don’t know how much I can explain at the moment.”
“So you're engaged to your one-night stand, slash, boss, slash the guy who put you out of business? What is going on, Addy?”
“Don’t even get me started.” I grunted. “Hey listen, I gotta let you go. We’ll talk more soon.”
“You’re coming out with me this weekend. I need all the juicy details. I’m not taking no for an answer.”

“Ok, next weekend then.”
“Ok, fine.”
“Good. Love you. See you later.”

Addison came in with my coffee.
“Thanks, love.”
“Yup.” She started back out of my office.
“How are things with Jack?”
“He’s still trying to get in contact. I don’t know.”
“You know you can press charges now, with the restraining order.”
“I know. I don't think that's necessary.”
I moved to the door and closed it, pulling her up to me and kissing her. “You know you can always come stay with me.”
“I don’t think that would be a good idea.”
