Chapter 78

There was a moment of silence, then Penny’s voice filled the line, brimming with anticipation. And?”

I took a deep breath, my fingers tightening around the phone. “I’ve decided to accept your offer.”

The knock on the apartment door echoed through the living room, interrupting the quiet evening that had settled in. I glanced up from the book I was engrossed in, my curiosity piqued.

I set the book aside and padded to the door, my heart pounding with anticipation.

As I swung open the door, a surprised gasp escaped my lips. Timothy stood on the other side, a warm smile curving his lips. His hazel eyes sparkled with an inviting warmth that made my heart skip a beat.

“Hey, Evie,” he greeted, his voice a soothing melody. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything.” A wave of relief washed over me, quickly followed by a surge of delight. “No, not at all,” I replied, almost stumbling over my words. “Come on in.”

Timothy took a sip of his tea. “Actually, I wanted to check if the offer still stands. You know, about hanging out with you and Aria?”

I blinked sheepishly. “Oh, right! Sorry for not following up on that.”

He chuckled. “No worries. How’s your week been?”

I bit my lip. My week had been fine until his gift went missing. It wasn’t sure how much it cost, but if it was truly gone, he probably didn’t want to hear that.

“Eh, same as before. Just a lot of case work and coffee,” I said instead.

He nodded, taking another gulp of tea. He was already halfway done with his cup, like the heat didn’t bother him at all. “We all have our slow weeks.”

“You do?” I quirked an eyebrow. “I didn’t know hockey could get slow.”

“The training days are,” he said lightly, leaning back on the couch. “After the rush of a game, drills almost feel tedious.”
