Halley kept her eyes on the city lights flickering beyond the car window, refining to look at Owen
You’re jealous Owen mammaired, his voice dropping lower at he reached for her hand. His touch was warm and steady- disarmingly gentle
Her expression didn’t waver. “I’m not. Why would I be? Her tone was calm, and perfectly measured, with not a hint of emotion dipping through.
The deep chuckle that followed sent a pate of irritation through her.
She exhaled sharply, her patience thinning Unfastening her seatbelt, she reached for the door handle. If you don’t want to drive me home, I’ll just call a cab
The door barely cracked open before his hand wrapped around her wrist, firm but not forceful, pulling her back before she could step out.
Off balance, she stumbled–and landed right in his arms.
His voice rumbled against the top of her head, a quiet amusement laced beneath the words. “If you’re jealous, just say it. I like it when you’re jealous?
“I’m not, she bit out, trying to push away from him, but his hold was unyielding

Owen reached for her wrist again. His voice was quieter but no less firm. “Relax. I won’t do anything.”
Hailey pressed her lips together.
He leaned back, swallowing as he loosened his tie with one hand. The fabric slid open, revealing the sharp cut of his collarbones that was, frankly, unfairly distracting.
Hailey’s gaze flicked away immediately.
A soft chuckle escaped him before he reached into his pocket, pulling out his phone.
With a tap, a familiar voice filled the car.
“Just take care of Grandma. No need to worry about me. Oh, by the way, Jeanie–there’s a coffee shop near the hospital entrance. Do you like that sort of thing?”
Jeanie? I mean, I don’t even like coffee, but if you’re offering, I
