Chapter 65. Questioning Myself

TARA

Although the call with Aidan yesterday felt rushed since he had to go attend to what I was sure was a knock on his door, I couldn’t help but feel like part of the reason why Aidan didn’t disclose that he was coming back was my fault.

I hoped he didn’t think that I didn’t want to talk to him, but it might have sounded that way. I had to save Nadia from a bad fall, so whatever I was saying got stuck, and he could have taken it to mean that I didn’t want to speak with him.

Well, he was here now, and that was some relief for what it was worth.

Aidan shook his head in response to my last question.

“Nothing happened. I’ve gotten what I needed, so I didn’t have to stay away anymore. I’m right where I should be.”

I nodded. “Okay then. Welcome back.”

“I’ve got some things in the car. Will you come look?” There was hope shining in Aidan’s eyes, and for the fact that Nadia was already tugging Aidan in the direction of the door, I nodded.
