For a moment, I consider asking him what he is doing in my apartment, but I quickly decide against it.“Carl.” I swallow. “I went to the house, just like we agreed. Didn’t meet you there.”He doesn’t turn around.I continue. “I thought you were there, but when I arrived, you weren’t. So I decided to go out for a while.”“Hmm.”My stomach churns and before I can stop myself, I find myself talking more than I should.“I didn’t know when you’d be back, and I didn’t want to spend the entire afternoon waiting around.”Carl finally turns.His eyes settle on me, and something about the expression on his face makes me wish I had chosen my words more carefully.“With who?”I raise a brow. “What?”“Who did you go out with?”I open my mouth, but before I can answer, he takes a step away from the dresser.“With my son?”My heart skips. I look a

    TIFFANY’S POV“Can I show you, Tiffy?”I stare at Cross, momentarily forgetting how to breathe.His fingers are still resting against my hair, having just brushed it away from my shoulder. He’s standing close enough for me to notice the faint scent of his cologne, and there’s something about the way he’s looking at me that makes my stomach tighten.I swallow hard.
