ALICEAs Theo snapped the cuffs into place, I had to admit that I felt a little uneasy, especially when I tried to open my arms wider and couldn't. He stepped back and peered at my face. He was watching me closely, almost like he was studying me, and I wasn't sure how that made me feel. "What's it like?" he asked, his voice a low rumble in his chest. "Good.""Alice."I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm not sure I like it. I can't move and that makes me panic. It makes me violent, almost.""You want them off?"I knew what that meant. It would mean all of this would come to an end. If I couldn't be handcuffed, then how would I take being tied to the bed, or the cross, or even the bench? I focused on breathing instead of answering him right away, and he took it as a sign to take the cuffs off. "Theo—""No. Nothing about this is forced." He tossed them on the bed and rubbed my wrists even though they weren't sore. "Baby steps, remember?"I felt terrible then, but I couldn't

THEODOREFucking Todd.Whenever I thought about what he'd said, I felt like turning the car back around and punching his jaw to mush. Son of a bitch. What gave him the fucking right to have an opinion on my life? If he pulled that shit again, I'd end him. I was done with him at this point. Done. If he wanted to end our partnership, he could do it. No. I'd end it first. I didn't want to have someone like him as a partner. I couldn't stand to look at his face anymore and I didn't care what the consequences were—I wanted him out of my life yesterday. In the meantime, I focused on getting Alice to my place. I could've driven her home but I wanted to spend more time with her. I wanted her to see her there, standing in my home so that maybe, it would start feeling like one. I was filled to the brim with plans. I wanted many things. Things between us were just starting to feel steady, though, so I wouldn't share all those plans with her out of fear of overwhelming her. But at some poi

ALICEA few days had passed and I still hadn't stopped thinking about what happened in Theo's home. I wasn't sure why, but that scene kept popping into my mind and making me go over it again and again. My guess was that this became an occurrence because I felt sorry for her. Yeah. That was it. I was tired of pretending that this wasn't the case. I saw her heartbroken expression as she walked out the door and it made me feel like a terrible person. At the same time, I genuinely didn't feel like her reaction was a reason for me to break things off with Theo.What would the point of that be? Things between us were great—better than ever, actually. I walked into the office in the morning and noted that the door to Francesca's office was closed. Theo told me a couple of days ago that she had to return to London, as she'd had an emergency there, but that she would return before the end of the week. I really wanted to talk to her and get her input on all this. She was someone I'd talked

ALICEI was surprised to find out that Francesca was in her office when I walked in the next day. Eleanor was the one who told me. "She asked me to tell you as soon as you walked in."As I went to her office, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Yes, I'd been wanting to speak to her about this whole thing and after what Theo told me last night, I was even more grateful for her involvement in all this. I still felt nervous, though. I knocked on her door first, and she told me to head inside. The blinds of the only glass wall were down, which meant that I couldn't see Freddie's office. Francesca looked up at me and smiled. "Alice, my dear! Let me stand up and give you a proper greeting!"We embraced and I noticed that her hair was different. A wig, perhaps? She pulled away first and peered at my face. She looked paler than usual and her lips were bloodless. "How are you feeling about all this? Have you spoken to Theo? Freddie tells me that he's here every day."I blushed. "Yes. We're de

THEODOREI stopped by Ember & Ink to pick up Alice for lunch, but she didn't pick up the phone and I found that alarming. I went inside and the front desk administrator told me she wasn't in. "What do you mean?""She left earlier with Miss O," she explained. "I'm not sure where they went. They didn't have a meeting. Nothing's marked in the calendar.""How long ago was that?""Oh, around nine-thirty. They left pretty early.""I see. Thanks."As I turned to leave, I reached for my phone again and tried calling her for the third time. Where could they have possibly gone? When she didn't answer, I was about to call my grandmother, but I came across Freddie, who walked in with a cupholder filled with steaming coffees. We exchanged an awkward look. Well, he looked awkward. I didn't care if he lived or died. "Mr. Linden-Hawthorne," he said in greeting. "Are you looking for Alice?""I already got the information I needed.""Oh. Right."I started walking past him and went outside. Fuck, I
