JULIAN'S POVI read the same email three times and still don't know what it says.Something about Q3 projections. Or Q4. Or quarterly something.All I can think about is her hand on my chest.The way she looked at me in that storage room. Like maybe…just maybe…she was considering it.My phone buzzes. Hargrove.Hargrove:Board meeting in 10. Conference room B. Don't be late.Shit.
