Chapitre 19: Chapter 19

MARI

I leaned over the railing at the top of the steps and listened to the front door close before I turned on a heel and dashed to Pierce’s bedroom. His door was shut, but the handle turned easily, allowing me to sneak into his private space. Didn’t anyone lock anything in this town? On the other side of the room at the far window, I separated two blinds just enough that I could see through them.

He backed his expensive car out of the garage and then used the driveway to turn around as he left the estate and headed into town. I held my breath as he left, and once his car was out of sight, I breathed a sigh of relief and dropped the blinds.

"Mari," Oliver said, startling me from my spot.

I jumped and turned around, finding him leaning up against the doorway of Pierce’s bedroom. Why the hell did he look so hot doing simple things?
