Alex’s blue eyes drink me in. “Are you okay? You look flushed.”

“I like you.”

His eyebrows rise. “Howdy to you too.”

“I didn’t say it this morning since you stunned me, however I like you too. I would like extra, however I don’t know the place to start out.”

He grins, elation in his eyes, and leans over to kiss me. “I like you too.”

Alex lifts his hand. Plastic containers overwhelm a bag. “How about we eat first after which we speak about it? I went to the Indian place down the highway and received just a few various things. I wasn’t certain what you favored.”

“I’m starved. I’ll eat all of it in the event you’re not cautious.”

He laughs, and I step again to let him in.

“How was your day?” I ask.

“Lengthy.” He kisses me once more. “And I missed you. You’re attending to be a behavior, Ms Maitland.”

My lips twitch, and I chunk my backside lip to manage it. “I’ve been pondering the identical factor about you.”

His eyes search mine. “What are we going to do about it, Lana? I can’t keep endlessly, and I don’t need to go away you behind.”

I blink quickly and nod towards the meals. “Let’s eat earlier than it will get chilly and give it some thought afterward.”

Or perhaps we received’t.

As a result of I don’t need to give it some thought. Any of it. I like the way in which issues are proper now, and I do know it received’t final endlessly, however what different choices do I’ve? We’re from two totally different international locations—two totally different worlds.

We got here collectively below the weirdest circumstances, and who is aware of how lengthy it will final? It’s not like I’ve a file of lengthy relationships, and I’m not even certain about Alex’s background.

I don’t actually know him that properly but.

However I do know that he makes me really feel extra particular than anybody ever has. Gareth seduced me, however Alex is real. He likes me for me.

Lana

The subsequent few weeks aren’t at all times straightforward.

Alex works every kind of bizarre hours, and he at all times make a while for us. It should be tiring for him, however I simply be certain when he’s not at work, he’s getting loads of relaxation.

For now, we’re discovering our method by means of scheduling obstacles, however I’m aware of the truth that with every passing week, his leaving grows nearer.

Then what’s going to I do?

I’m undecided what would occur if he requested me to depart with him. We’re safe right here, even when I don’t notably get pleasure from working for Gareth. It’s secure.

And I’ve at all times performed issues secure for Casey.

It’d be an entire totally different story if it was simply me, however it’s not. She has to come back first.

All the time.
