Chapter 216: Take As Much Time As You Need

Gathering her courage, Keeley carefully made her way down the stairs to where Aaron was sitting on the couch. He glanced up at her with a blank expression as he petted Dinah.

"Was that the bath bomb you mentioned?"

"No," she mumbled, embarrassed. "It was just regular bubble bath. I accidentally added too much. What are you doing here?"

"It is my house," he pointed out. "My meetings finished up early so I decided to come home. I did text you."

Her phone was sitting on the kitchen table where she left it before storming upstairs to prepare her bath. Sure enough, there was a text from a few hours ago. She must have received it when she first met up with Ryan but didn't feel her phone buzz in her pocket.

"I was out. I didn't see it."

A soft smile appeared on his face. "You certainly seemed like you were having fun back there."

She buried her face in her hands. Where was a nice hole she could bury herself in when she needed it?
