“I am, aren’t I?” He grinned, and I laughed.
“You definitely are, Dr. Kind. Oh shit.” I sat up.
“What’s wrong?”
“I had an appointment with Charlotte today. Do you know if Kate went?”
“She didn’t show.”
“Fuck! She knows we have to keep appointments.” I brought my hands up to my face. “What happened between you two?” I asked.
“She told me to fuck off, but we’re good now.”
“Oh, my God. What did you talk about?” I asked with furrowed brows. It felt like he was hiding something from me.
“She was worried that I wanted to send her and the others away. I told her that I wouldn’t do that because you need them.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes. That’s all. Come here.” He held his arms out.
I snuggled against him as I laid my head on his chest.

Grayson had to get up early to get to the hospital the following morning. While he was in the shower, I grabbed my phone and saw a text message from Hannah.
“I hope you don’t mind, but Austin is going to crash with us for a while. His roommate is having some work done on his house, and it’s really noisy.”
I sat there and shook my head. It wasn’t okay with me, but I didn’t know how to tell her.
“What’s wrong?” Grayson asked as he emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
“Hannah invited Austin to stay at the apartment for a while.”
“Why?” His brows furrowed.
“Apparently, his roommate is having work done on his house, and it’s too noisy. I really don’t feel comfortable with him staying there.”
“Then stay here until he leaves,” Grayson said.
“I can’t do that.”
“Why not?” He sat on the edge of the bed.
“I just can’t.”
“Sure, you can.” He smiled as his hand softly stroked my cheek. “After you’re done with work, grab some stuff from your apartment and bring it here.”
“Are you sure, Grayson? I don’t want to be a bother.”
“I’m positive, and you’re not a bother. If I didn’t want you here, I wouldn’t have asked. I have to finish getting ready.” He leaned over and kissed my lips.
I sent a message to Hannah.
“That’s fine. I’m going to be staying at Grayson’s for a while. Let’s meet up for lunch today.”
“Okay. I have a job interview at eleven o’clock. Can we meet around noon?”
