“Ellie,” he groaned like he was actually in pain. “I’ve never met anyone like you before. And I have no idea what to do with you.”
“I’ll tell you what to do,” I said sincerely. “Tell me you’ll see me Thursday and give me a hug so that I know you’re alright.”
Fin stood up with me and pulled me against his chest. His body was hot against my cooled skin and I adored being wrapped in his warmth. I nuzzled against his chest and he let out a contented sigh. When he let me go, he reached for my hand again and walked us to our cars.
“I’ll see you Thursday,” he said obediently. “But we’re going to figure this out.”
I reached up to kiss him on the cheek, letting my lips linger on his skin longer than was probably appropriate. But after this I was confident he would back off forever now, especially since I knew how important the money was to him.
“See you Thursday,” I whispered against his face and then got in my car and left.
There was so much more to Fin than I ever understood. And my heart was gone. Completely. How would I ever get over him after all that?
It wasn’t just an attraction anymore. It was a desire to get him his money, but this time for Declan. It was a stupid dream to give him a partner in life, someone to help him look forward to the future that didn’t have to be lonely or heavy.
Ugh. I was one of those girls now.
And now I needed to call my parents and tell them how much I loved them.
All thanks to Fin Hunter.
