“Oh my god, you’re alive.” He heard the relief in her voice. “Where are you?”
“The Alpine Inn.” He stepped off the elevator onto the fourth floor and followed the signs pointing to his room.
“Where is that?”
“West of Denver.”
“You’re still in Colorado?”
He swiped his key and pushed into the room. Bed. T.V. Shower he didn’t have to charge. “Yeah.”
“Have you talked to Brett?” she asked.
Ugh. He didn’t want to think about what his manager was going to have to say. “Not yet. You happened to call while I was going through my messages, so I answered.”
“Is Rowan with you?”
“You’re the second person to ask me that question.”
“Well, you interrupted her wedding and you both disappeared. It’s a valid question. Even more valid: why isn’t she with you?”
Luke sat at the foot of the bed and said out loud what he didn’t want to admit to himself. “She didn’t want me.”
“And you’re giving up?” she asked.
He took a breath. “No. Just taking a moment to regroup.”
