Chapitre 33: Chapter 33

So where did that leave us? Where did that leave me?

Alone.

No Donald, no Theo. Just me. Maybe that was what I needed for a while. I hadn’t been on my own for six years. But really the thought scared the crap out of me. I liked having one guy. I was never going to be the guy sleeping around.

When we finished, Theo put the dishes in the sink, and I called Emily.

“Hey, it’s me. I just wanted to say I’m leaving for the airport in just a few minutes.”

She sniffed. “Okay. It all went so fast.”

“I know, but we’ll see each other again real soon.”

“I hope so.” Emily sighed. “It’s just Garret’s barely tolerable, and Clive’s never been warm and fuzzy. It was nice having my good brother here for a change.”

I laughed at her grumbling. “I know. And I’m sorry I’ve been spending so much time with you know who.”

“I’m not,” Emily said. “I think it’s been good for both of you.”

It didn’t seem so good for either of us now, but I didn’t say it.
