The deal is so important that it stole my husband from me.
Hansley’s been working at the office non-stop since we came back from Vegas. I saw him only once—the day he came to pick me up and show me around his massive condo.
He stuck around just long enough to give me a kiss and then he was out the door.
At first, I didn’t mind.
In fact, I reveled in the peace.
Jumping from single to married, even if it’s only temporary—has been an adjustment.
I didn’t move in with Thad for that very reason.
I like having my own personal space.
I like hogging up the bed.
Throwing my clothes around the hamper instead of in it.
Leaving the dishes to wash until they’ve gathered a high enough pile.
My personal freedom means the world to me because I have a very specific way of functioning. It might look like total chaos, but there’s a method to the madness.
I wasn’t looking forward to adjusting my schedule or habits for anyone.
Plus, I’ve been busy with my own business. Having my name splashed all over the tabloids was good for my website. More and more people are finding my brand online and booking me for gigs and consultations.
I had more work than I could keep up with and was seriously considering getting a partner to split the load.
Before I went personnel hiring, I wanted Hansley’s opinion on it.
An opinion he hasn’t been able to share…
Because he hasn’t been around.
In fact, seeing Hansley for a long enough period of time to ask about anything seems almost impossible right now. Our schedules conflict like two warring nations in the heat of battle.
When I’m home, he’s at the office.
When I’m out, he’s at home.
He comes in late and leaves early.
All the time.
Without fail.
It’s starting to feel like a set-up.
Or maybe he’s avoiding me.
But that’s ridiculous.
It’s not like he’s suddenly lost interest in me.
Flames heat my cheeks when I think about last night.
I’d woken up to him getting into bed and sighing in exhaustion. He’d reached for me and I came willingly, wrapping him in my arms and trying to get enough of my brain cells to wake up so I could talk.
