Chapter Twenty-Three
Mulaney
“Love you too.”
Easton yanked on his tie as he entered our room. I set my phone on the chair.
“Your mom and dad are coming up tomorrow,” I said.
“Was that my father you were speaking to?” His tone was pure acid. He tossed his tie aside and his suit jacket landed on the bed beside it.
“Yeah. What’s crawled up your ass?”

“I wanted to talk to you about that—”
“But you were too busy with my father.”
“Actually, you disappeared earlier.” I pulled off my earrings and set them on the counter, past ready to change into more comfortable clothes. “I looked over everything I have and it all lines up.”
“I’m sure it does.”
I opened the shower door. “I didn’t take any money I wasn’t supposed to.”
