“I hear you. Truth is I have my eye on someone else.” He grins.
“You do?” I return his smile. “Are you planning on telling me who?”
“Nope, it’s more fun that way.”
He opens the door, putting an end to our chat when I see the two suits sitting at the table.
Cade
Two hours ago, I watched Rona engrossed in conversation with Josh, and it’s still eating away at me. What the hell could they have been talking about that he had to smile at her the way he did or that made Rona return it?
The only saving grace against my jealousy is the fact that there are two other men in the room with them so at least I can rest assured Josh isn’t flirting with her.
“Cade, they’re just finishing up,” Daniel informs me, breaking into my thoughts.
“Thanks, Daniel. It’s difficult sitting out here while she’s in there.”
“I know.” Daniel sits beside me. “I never thought I’d see the day.”
He doesn’t need to finish that sentence because I know what he means. I’m in love with Rona and I don’t give a damn who knows it.
“Neither did I.” I rub my hand over my face. “I can’t lose her, Daniel.”
“You won’t.” He chuckles. “Josh is young, and appears to be good at his job, but you don’t have anything to worry about with him. He might be flirting with Rona now to get your goat, but I think he has his eyes on Grace.”
My head snaps to him.
Grace? Tom’s sister Grace?
Hearing the door at the end of the hall open, we watch as Josh and Rona appear.
I sigh in relief.
“You didn’t hear that from me,” Daniel says under his breath.
I’m on my feet waiting for them to reach us, and then Rona is back in my arms.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m tired, but I’m good.” She reaches up and kisses me. “I promise, Cade.”
“Sorry we took so long, but Rona’s finished now until his case goes to trial. That will give you both a few months to rest.”
“Thanks, Josh.” I hold my hand out to him. It’s about time I showed him my thanks instead of acting like a jealous idiot.
“You’re welcome.” He shakes my hand before turning to Rona.
She slips her hand into his. “Thank you for everything, Josh. And good luck with the lucky lady.”
Lucky lady?
Josh blushes and covers his mouth with his hand. “Thanks, Rona.”
She smiles and grasps my fingers. “Let’s go home.”
