Chapter 15
“Silas!” My voice sounds like shrapnel ripping through flesh. I’m on my emergency phone and he’s answering before I realize I’ve shifted to his first name, the soles of my feet digging into the floorboards of my SUV, the unrelenting sun turning the cab of my car into a sauna of retribution and recrimination. The air tastes like regret. “I need your help. Now.”
“What do you need, Drew?”
So much for “sir.”
“Block texts going to Lindsay’s phone. Effective five minutes ago.”
“I can block all future texts, but -- ”
“Scrub them. Now.”
“She has her phone on her, sir – Drew. Too late.”
Fuck.
“Where is she?”
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
“SILAS!”
“She’s...er, well, she’s asking for you.”
Careful what you wish for.
You just might get it.
“Me?” I gasp.
“Yes. We’re under strict orders not to have her see you, be seen with you, come within a thousand yards of you, even -- ”
“I get the point,” I grind out.
“But you know Ms. Bosworth.”
My grimace turns to a tight grin.
“Sure do.”
“She’s insistent.”
A lump in my throat makes it hard to swallow.
“What’s her mood like, Silas?”
“Her...mood?” He asks the question like he’s not sure he heard me right.
“Yes.”
“It’s, um...she’s pretty stoic. Broken record. She just walked over to the senator’s office and it looks like she’s arguing with her mom and dad.”
Lindsay can take on Harry.
