Chapter 9
Aidan’s phone vibrated as he was walking into the parking garage to fetch his car. He pulled it out of his pocket and glanced at the screen. Ellie’s number flashed on the screen.
“Hey Ellie, what’s up?”
“Hey Aidan! Thought I’d call and let you know I’m at your place.”
“You are?”
“Yup,” she said brightly. “I have a meeting with a gallery tomorrow, so I thought I’d come down tonight. That’s okay, right? You always say to come anytime.”
He would usually have said that was always the case, and it was okay tonight. It’s just now he had to find a way to explain not being home, if by chance Becca seemed open to him staying with her again. Or, he had to adjust on the fly and accept all he’d be doing with Becca tonight was giving her a ride home. He forced his attention to his call.
