CATHERINE
“Do you… have feelings for him?”
My heart skipped a beat “No.” I said too quickly.
His eyes narrowed on me with a knowing look. “Katie…” he started. “I’ve known you for years. And I also know when you’re not being honest.”
“I am. I’m not.” I said again.
“He’s your ex-fiancé’s father. One who clearly hasn’t let go of you. If you go down that road… you and I know that it’ll be nothing but a f*****g mess.”
I sighed. “I know… I know. Trust me, I don’t have any feelings for him.”
His eyes stayed on me for a second longer before he nodded slowly but it was obvious he didn’t believe me. “I should go.” He said, pushing off the counter. “I came to check on you, and I did. Wish I could stay longer but duty calls.”
“Of course.” I said softly and walked him out, watching him leave.
