“Recorded it day earlier than yesterday.”

So he had gone again to LA. Uncertainty swam in her abdomen. “Then why are you right here?”

“Due to you.” He stepped nearer, his voice decrease, extra intimate. Besides the entire rattling show case was between them. “I didn’t need to be there. Not with out you.”
