Chapter 102

I started the Bentley and focused on pulling out of the parking lot. When I checked the mirror again, I saw that Nathan wasn’t following us. Maybe he’d just started his car to let me know he was leaving, too.

That kind of subtle thoughtfulness really made my heart skip a beat for a couple of seconds. Honestly, Nathan just understands women way better than Jared ever could.

When we got home, Yvonne still hadn’t come back. Looked like Sally was dead set on giving us some alone time.

I got out of the car, and so did Jared. He wasn’t actually drunk. He was just clutching his suit jacket in his hand.

As he walked toward me, I could tell he was about to offer me his jacket, but I turned away at the same moment and walked off.
