“Didn’t you guys break up before you went different ways back then.”
“Sort of. I guess we left it kind of open ended. I mean, we went different ways. But we said we’d still see each other some.”
“But life got in the way?”
I shrug a tight shoulder. “I was at college, he went to work as a ski instructor for the winter.”
“And you were upset with him?”
“I… yeah.”
“And what was your relationship that summer like?”
I laugh. “Hot.”
“And I remember you being hell bent on finishing school and starting the business.”
“I was. I’ve always known I wanted to be an entrepreneur.”
“What about him? What did he want back then?”
I roll my eyes in her direction. “To be a ski bum.”
Maddy watches me with a look that’s beyond her years. “And he’s grown up a lot since then.”
I shake my head. “Do they ever grow up?”
She laughs. “I think so, but that’s probably why I like older men.”
I grin. “Like Christian Archer?”
Her cheeks grow pink. “No.”
“Whatever. Anyway, I’m mad at Hunter. And I don’t have time for his games in my life.”
She stands up. “Well, hopefully there’s some logical explanation for all of this.”
“Not likely,” I grumble at my computer.
At one p.m., my phone rings. I grab it. Hunter.
My finger hovers over the answer button.
No! I’m not doing it.
I put the phone face down on the desk.
A text dings.
Another call an hour later.
And another at three. The text messages steadily ding between.
I don’t even pick the thing up.
Maddy sticks her head around the office door. “What in the world is going on with your phone?”
“Hunter. I guess.”
