"""You've been avoiding me, Emily.""
Donovan's words make me look up at him.
""Can you blame me? After what happened, I can barely look you in the eye.""
To my surprise, he smiles.
""You're making this far more complicated than it needs to be.""
""Easy for you to say. You're my boss.""
""And your former boyfriend's brother,"" he adds calmly.
I stare at him.
As if I needed another reminder of just how complicated my life has become.
""But if you must know, Buttercup,"" he continues, ""I've been interested in you for much longer than you realize.""
""Really?""
His unexpected confession leaves me speechless.
Suddenly, the man I have been desperately trying to avoid becomes impossible to ignore.
