“Ask me tomorrow. Right now, I’m in shock and I need to process.”

“I’m sorry, Messka. This sucks.”

“Totes.”

Cameron chuckled. “You still have your warped sense of humor, I see.”

She smiled. “Totes.”

“Okay, thirteen-year-old girl. I’m going to let you go, but I’ll keep my phone on and close if you need me.”

“Brother of the year award, Cam.”

“Aw, thanks, Messka. Love you, too.”

“’Bye.”

“’Bye, sis.”

She hung up and closed her eyes. A slight bump indicated they were heading into the garage, so Jesska sat up and set her phone in her purse. She was surprised to see Kaspar waiting for her as they drove in. Lordy, he was pretty. Austri pulled the car to a stop and Kaspar opened the door, holding his hand out to her. She took it and climbed out.

“Austri will handle your personal items,” he said, reading her mind.

Jesska nodded. “Thanks for everything, Austri.”

The driver nodded and then drove off to find a parking spot. Kaspar wrapped an arm around her and kissed her temple. “Are you all right?”

She nodded, giving him a gentle squeeze. “I think so. I’m a little numb right now, but I’m okay.”

“Come upstairs and we’ll talk.”

“Don’t you have meetings?”

He smiled. “Nothing I can’t take a little time away from.”

She sighed. “I think you’re too good to be true.”

Kaspar chuckled. “We’ll see how long I can fool you.”

They stepped into the elevator and Kaspar hit the button for the top floor, keeping his other arm firmly around her. Entering his suite, she laid her purse on the table and kicked off her shoes, flopping onto the sofa with a sigh. “What did you say earlier?”

“I love you, beautiful girl.”

She smiled. “Say it in Icelandic again.”

“Ég elska þig, fallega stúlka.”

“So pretty.”

He leaned down and kissed her. “As are you. Are you hungry?”

“Kaz, you fed me until I nearly burst this morning.”

He frowned. “You had two bites of food.”

“Three.”

“Two,” he corrected.
