Capítulo 195: Third Wheel Situation

** Eli **

Speaking of the trip coming to an end, it wasn't long into the week before Eli got a straightforward reminder of the undesirable fact.

Two days after the scrumptious dinner night, he was sitting in his last budget meeting, halfheartedly listening to the various reports and proposals — none of which sounded good enough for Harper's project — when his phone buzzed with a text message:

[ Tyler: Sent you my flight info. I'm getting there next Wednesday evening and leaving late Sunday night. ]

Ugh. That was a discussion Eli wasn't ready for yet. Not when he was counting every second of his last couple of nights alone with Harper, occupying all their remaining time together by trying out his favorite recipes, and too swept away by the precious feasts to want to think about anything else.

Tyler wouldn't have liked to hear just what types of recipes they were.
