control enough to leave her be, he walked to the door. “That, Hailey, was just for you. I’ll
see you tomorrow, babe.”
“Good night,” she said quietly, her eyes soft as she watched him leave.
Hailey watched him leave with stars in her eyes. Her limbs felt like jelly, and she
didn’t think she had enough energy to move from the couch to her bedroom. Good lord,
