Chapter 4
Tobias
How do you trust a person after the one who was your everything betrayed you by sleeping with your best friend?
You don’t.
At least not me.
“I don’t need a bodyguard!” Hannah exclaims as we take off our shoes inside my hallway, which now is hers too.
“You do need one,” I say without facing her. All I want right now is a shower and some much-needed rest.
“No one would try to assassinate me!”
I arch an eyebrow while hanging up my coat, watching her over my shoulder as I do. “No, but… Someone might try to press me for money by kidnapping you.”
Hannah looks shocked by my words. Fear enters those ice-blue eyes, and then something weird happens: I, Tobias Ford, feel guilt for pulling this woman into my crazy life and schemes.
The guilt trip lasts for about three seconds. Then I remind myself that Hannah needs this. She is a broke college student, and I’m the answer to her problems.
I shouldn’t feel guilty.
Still, I sigh. “Look, how about we talk about this tomorrow? It’s late, and I have an early day tomorrow.”
Noticing my tiredness, Hannah relents. Her expression softens, and she stops pressing her agenda. How interesting. It seems former Mrs. Darling cares more about other’s people well-being than her own. I admire that.
“I suppose I can wait until tomorrow,” Hannah looks around and takes in the space around her. Her eyes widen like I knew they would, and shock crosses her features. “So this is your house…”
“Yes.”
She laughs, and I stare her down.
“Did I say something funny?” I ask.
“No, it’s just that…” a smile tugs on her lips, and she looks up at me with glittering eyes. So naive. So innocent and young. “If this is your house, why were you staying at the hotel?”
My mood darkens. “Because I was with my ex-wife when I bought this house. It’s filled with our old memories.”
“Oh, I’m sorry… I didn’t know that… But I suppose I should have…” Hannah stares down at the ground, embarrassed. “Is it hard for you to be here?”
Is she serious?
The answer is yes, and Hannah should know that!
