Ivy had never been a girl who was governed by her feelings. She'd always brought a bit of rationality into the picture. But she was losing that objectivity with Piers.
It had to be this situation. She'd never been in over her head like she was now, and he was her lifeline. This thing they shared was mostly in her head.
Hell, Piers was probably acting completely normal and it was her twisting it around to be something it wasn't.
She had to stop this. Somehow.
Closing her eyes, she drew in a deep, steadying breath.
Tonight, after the party and she'd dealt with Jabir, she'd let herself feel whatever way her heart wanted. Tomorrow she was taking back that control. The job would be the better for it.
