~ JAMIE

Laughter echoed across the backyard as I watched Simon get literally swallowed by the ball pit.

"Higher, Simon! HIGHER!" Lily shrieked, her green eyes blazing as she scaled his back like he was a jungle gym.

He lifted her over his head with an ease that made my stomach flip. "Higher? You're gonna touch the sky, squirt."

"I WANNA TOUCH THE SKY!"

He launched her upward, and she crashed back into the ball pit with a thud, popping up with pink balls stuck in her hair and a smile that li

    ~ JAMIEFriday morning, I came downstairs with my suitcase and found Jack, Sam, and Lily lined up in front of the elevator like a tiny farewell committee. Jack was trying hard to look unaffected. Sam was holding a folded sheet of paper. Lily was still in her pajamas, wearing two different socks.“Are you really going?” she asked.“For three nights,” I said, crouching down to hug her. “By the time you wake up Monday, we’ll almost be home.”“Almost home isn’t home.”“You hear that, counselor?” Simon said behind me. “Legally sound argument.”I smiled at Lily.Simon pulled out his phone and checked the time. Dark pants, crisp white shirt, jacket folded over one arm. He looked ready to close a nine-figure deal. My skin was still very much aware of the decidedly unprofessional consequences of the night before.Lily ran to him. Simon scooped her up, and some of that cocky confidence slipped from his face when she wrapped both arms around his neck.“I’m gonna miss you.”“I’m gonna m

    ~ SIMONJamie stayed quiet long enough for any sensible man to take the hint and leave.I'd never claimed to be sensible.“Can I come in?” I asked.She pushed herself up on her elbows. Her black nightgown rode several inches higher on her thighs, and my self-control suffered a swift, humiliating death.“You're already halfway inside the room.”“The well-behaved half.”“You have a well-behaved half?”“You haven't complained about it yet.”Jamie tried to hide her smile.“Come in and close the door before you wake the kids.”I closed it and turned the lock for good measure.“That wasn't an invitation to do whatever you're thinking,” she warned.“You don't know what I'm thinking.”“I know exactly what you're thinking.”“Then we're thinking the same thing.”She grabbed a pillow and threw it at me. I caught it and tossed it onto the chair.“I came to make sure you're okay,” I said.“At twelve forty-three in the morning?”“I just got off the call with Honolulu. I saw the l

    ~ JAMIEThe next morning, I found Simon in the kitchen with a spatula in one hand and his phone propped against the coffee maker.Kelly's voice came through the speaker while he tried to flip an omelet without taking his eyes off Lily, who was pouring a criminal amount of syrup over her pancakes.“I interviewed the new nanny yesterday afternoon,” Kelly said. “She seemed great. Excellent résumé, her references got back to me right away, and she was very polite. She should be arriving any minute.”Simon slid the omelet onto Jack's plate.“Perfect. Thanks, Kelly.”“Did you just thank me before eight in the morning, boss?”“Don't get used to it.”“Too late. I'm documenting the date.”He ended the call and looked up at me.“Coffee?”“Please.”“The magic word. I like it.”“I'm a polite houseguest.”The intercom buzzed before Simon could answer. He pressed the button on the panel beside the refrigerator.“Mr. Hart,” the doorman said. “Miss Chloe Bennett is here. She says she's

    ~ SIMON"I'm just gonna grab my bag. Five minutes." She said it as she walked into the apartment."I'll come with you.""You don't have to.""I know. I'm still coming."She sighed but didn't argue. Her apartment was warm, stuffy, that closed-up-all-day kind of smell hanging in the air. I walked through the living room while she disappeared into the bedroom.I followed her. Jamie was standing in front of the closet, pulling things out with surgical precision. A pair of pants. Two shirts. A black dress."That's it?" I asked."That's enough.""Jamie, you're staying four nights.""Exactly. Four nights. Not four months."I grabbed the suitcase off the bed and started unzipping it."What are you doing?""Helping.""Simon, don't."I ignored her. Pulled open the drawers. T-shirts, sweatpants, lace bras I recognized immediately."This one." I held up a black piece. "This is coming.""Put that back.""I'm bringing it.""Simon!""It's comfortable. You'll thank me."She snatc

    ~ JAMIESimon wasn't in the office when I got there.He wasn't in the conference room either, or on the terrace, or in any of the usual spots where he liked to hide when he wanted the world to believe a billionaire could just vanish inside his own building."Kelly, where is he?"She looked up from her computer."Good morning to you too.""Sorry. Good morning. Where's Simon?""I don't know.""Kelly.""Jamie."I crossed my arms."He canceled the nine o'clock and he's not answering my texts either.""So it sounds like you know more about where he is than I do."The private elevator doors slid open behind us.Simon stepped out with his jacket slung over one shoulder and his knuckles red. There was a fresh cut at the corner of his mouth.My stomach dropped."You."He stopped."Me.""My office. Now."Kelly bit her lip to keep from smiling.Simon tilted his head."I like it when you talk like you're my boss.""Move it, Hart.""Yes, ma'am."I walked in behind him and

    ~ SIMONThe Westbridge Medical Center parking lot was still slick with drizzle when I pulled the Ferrari in at 7:42.Ian, efficient as always, had found out Oliver's surgery was scheduled for nine and gotten my name on the visitors' list.I got past security with a temporary badge and took the elevator up to the third floor. The hallway smelled like antiseptic and stale coffee.A resident on duty appeared in front of me, dark circles under her eyes, a cup in her hand."Sir, you can't be up here. This is a restricted area."I looked at her. Smiled."I'm here to see a friend. Dr. Oliver. Is he in?"The woman studied me for a second. The Armani suit. The watch. The smile I used in meetings with billionaire investors."Of course," she said, her voice softer. "He's resting in the room at the end of the hall.""Thank you. I won't be long."She nodded and disappeared.I walked to the end of the corridor and pushed the door open. It swung in silently.The room was small. An old c
