Was he meeting this girl?
“No, I’m busy,” he answered, making my heart soar.
He wasn’t leaving.
Who was this woman? And why did just the sound of her voice make me want to murder her?
“No, definitely not coming back. Sorry,” he said as his eyes followed me to the bathroom.
I stole his sweatshirt off the floor, pulled it on over my t-shirt, only looking back at him once before closing the door softly behind me.
That didn’t mean I didn’t hear every word that was exchanged between them, and I certainly noticed how every word that was exchanged wasn’t something exchanged between lovers. At least not from Quinn’s side of the discussion.
I finished up in the bathroom and came back out to see Quinn there, staring at me, waiting for me to open the door.
We switched places, and I went back to the bedroom, putting my knee into the mattress and contemplating what I should do next.
That question was answered for me when he said, “You want me to plug in your phone?”
I snorted. “I don’t have it.”
“You what?” he asked in disbelief.
“I left it,” I answered. “I didn’t want to deal with anything tonight.”
Mainly, contemplating calling him since it was my first day back on American soil.
Yet, here I was, doing exactly what I’d been trying to prevent.
What were the odds the man I’d been trying to not call would show up at the same bar as me?
Really freakin’ slim.
He grumbled something under his breath, then took the same spot he’d left earlier.
I pulled my knees up to my chest and tried in vain to stop the words from coming out of my mouth.
Yet, they came out anyway.
“Who was that?” I asked curiously.
The voice had sounded feminine.
“A friend,” he answered. “We met during police academy.”
I waited, hoping he would offer more, and found that he wasn’t going to.
And, since I wasn’t the type of person to pry when it was apparent that prying wasn’t something he wanted, I closed my mouth.
Even though, I had to admit, it was absolutely killing me not to know about this woman in Quinn’s life.
Who was she?
What was she to him?
What was the status of their relationship?
Did he like her?
