Chapter 7

Tobias

I can’t stop thinking about Hannah.

I sit inside my office and rock back and forth in my chair that I should change out. My eyes stare out through the window from the top floor, but no quiet time in the world can sort out my brain.

What is the matter with me? Usually, it’s Sarah that I think about day and night, but Hannah?

Why do I think about her?

I’m still in love with my ex-wife, who betrayed me. I wish I weren’t. Sarah is why I don’t believe in true love, but my heart has a will of its own. It still remembers back when things were good with Sarah..

Which is why I’m so confused Hannah is on my mind. She is too young for me. She also isn’t my type. That’s why I picked her for my marriage contract. I told myself I wouldn’t risk falling for her.

But when I close my eyes, I hear her shy voice say, “Do you know what I do when I’m feeling like I’m under a heavy rain cloud?”

A smile works over my lips. That woman is a nutcase. The way she spun around with her hands? Such a weirdo, but… She made me laugh. Hannah also finds me attractive, and it pleases me.

1 find Hannah beautiful too. But as I said, she is too young for me and not at all my type. I need someone. who challenges me intellectually, not someone who tries to make me-

My thoughts trail off when my phone chimes on my desk. I pick it up and smile when I see it’s a text message from Hannah.

Pixie Spaz: I have good news and bad news.

Pixie Spaz: I found some very classy clothes and bought them, but something happened. I might look less presentable. Not to worry, though! I will be on time for the brunch!

I arch an eyebrow. Hannah is speaking in riddles, and I don’t like it. I prefer her to be straight with me..

Also, I really hope she isn’t late for brunch. Sarah was always late for every meeting and every event in our life because she was busy fucking my ex-best friend, Daniel.
