UNEXPECTED JEALOUSY
~NATHANIEL'S POV~
I wasn't supposed to be thinking about Tessa during my Saturday morning run.
But as I rounded the corner near the coffee shop where she was having brunch with Natalie, I found myself slowing down. Not stopping. Just... slowing down enough to catch a glimpse through the window.
They were deep in conversation, Natalie gesturing animatedly while Tessa laughed at something. She looked happy. Relaxed in a way I rarely saw during our business meetings.
I forced myself to keep running.
My phone rang just as I got back to the penthouse.
"Nathaniel? It's Kevin."
"What's up?"
"Are you busy? I'm at the Morrison Gallery on Fifth, and there's an exhibition I think you'd appreciate. Contemporary abstracts."
I glanced at my phone. No messages from Tessa yet
