Chapter Nine
Hunter
Waking up with Lennon in my arms was heaven, and I hated having to get up and leave. My only motivation was knowing I’d see her after work because even though our fake relationship is over, I still enjoy spending time with her in the evenings.
Nothing monumental happened at the office while I was gone, and after reviewing the current progress, I left the jobsite pleased. We’ll be finished in two to three months, and we’re on target to meet our planned budget as long as nothing terrible happens. Before lunch, just as I’m sitting at my desk to turn on my computer, my phone vibrates. I unlock it and see a text from Jenna. Considering I rushed her out of the apartment on Sunday, then rejected her call, I’m surprised it took her this long.
Jenna: Can we talk?
