EXCERPT
A knock on the front door makes me sit up quickly. Blood rushes to my head, and I get pins and needles in my hands. But then it fades, and I’m still here. Still on the bed. I hurry to the front door and look through the peephole. It’s the carpenter. He’s wearing a sleeveless navy shirt, acid-washed jeans and bright-white joggers. God, he’s got nice arms. All that drilling onsite obviously does good things for his biceps.
I open the door. “Hello.”
“Hi. I was wondering whether you were still here. I guess you are.” He smiles and brushes his curly hair out of his eyes. “Sorry again for startling you yesterday. My housemate and I are getting Chinese takeaway for dinner tonight, and I thought you might like to join us.”
A housemate. Not a girlfriend.
Say no. Say no. Say NO.
“Actually, that would be great,” I say.
What’s wrong with you, Caitlyn? You know this is a terrible idea.
His face lights up, and my stomach flips at the sight. “Terrific. You can come over now, or a bit later, whichever you prefer. And the offer of a hot shower still stands.”
“I think I will take you up on that, actually. A hot shower would be amazing.” Forty-eight hours. That’s all it took to break me. So weak. “I’ll come over in a bit.”
“Fantastic. See you then.” He smiles.
I shut the door and then look through the peephole. He’s just standing there, grinning at the door.
