“Then don’t.” I slide back down into my chair. “Have you spoken to Everett at all?” I ask.
The two parted ways with nothing more than a hug on Friday night. I was really surprised when Hannah got out of the Uber at my apartment rather than staying with him. The two had some serious sparks flying.
“He texted that he made it home safely.” She tries to hide her smile.
“You like him.”
“I do. Too bad he lives thousands of miles away.”
“Yeah, that stinks.”
“It’s just my luck. I finally meet a guy that is the whole package and we’re separated by a freaking ocean.”
“Life can be cruel like that sometimes.”
“Anyway, I gotta get to work. I’ll see you at our ten o’clock meeting.”
“Okay, sounds good,” I say, watching her turn. “And thank you for the coffee.”
“Welcome.” She calls back, throwing me a wave over her shoulder before she disappears inside her cubicle two rows over from mine.

“Imissed you this weekend,” Harris says seconds before he presses into me from behind.
“You saw me Friday,” I remind him, pulling my cup of Ramen out of the microwave when it beeps.
“That was three days ago.” His lips press to the side of my neck and I find myself unintentionally leaning into his touch.
My head has been so all over the place recently. One minute I want to keep my distance because I think that’s the smartest play. The next all I want to do is pull Harris into the supply closet and screw his brains out. I’m so up and down I can barely keep up with myself.
“Come over tonight,” he mumbles against my skin and I swear my entire body comes to life.
“Okay,” I agree without much thought. If there’s one thing I’m going to miss the most about Harris, it’s having him in bed. His skill is so far beyond anyone else I’ve ever been with that it’s almost laughable.
“I’m thinking we should order in. What are you in the mood for?”
“Hmm.” I turn in his arms to face him. “How about you surprise me?”
“I can do that.” He smiles and I can’t ignore the rush of excitement that swirls through me.
“I have to go to the gym after work and I need to call my mom to check in. What time were you thinking?”
“I didn’t really have a time in mind. Maybe I’ll join you at the gym and we can head to my place together. You could call your mom on the way to my house.”
“We can do that,” I agree. As distracting as Harris is at the gym, he makes for some damn fine eye candy. Working out has never been as enjoyable as it is when Harris goes with me.
“How is your dad doing?”
“Really good. He’s pretty much back to his old self. Though he’s not really happy with the new diet my mom put him on. He says she’s starving him.”
“Poor guy.” He chuckles, making no attempt to back away when Patti walks in.
I catch her surprised expression which quickly morphs into a smile as she crosses the break room.
Feeling suddenly uncomfortable, I turn, grab my food off the counter, and head to the long rectangular table in the center of the room.
Harris follows me over but doesn’t sit down.
