CHAPTER 38
WHEN I SAW Nick, I was so relieved I threw my arms around him before I realised what I was doing. He didn’t seem to share my sentiment as he looked down, tight-lipped.
“We’re leaving.”
He shifted me to his side, slung an arm around my waist, and half carried me outside. Missy trotted after us with Dominic and Conrad bringing up the rear.
When we reached the car, Nick stuck out his hand. “Keys.”
Where had I put them?
I fumbled through my purse until I found them lurking under a scarf and passed them over, hand shaking. Nick threw them to Conrad and told him to drive Missy home.
“You two need a ride?” Dominic asked Nick.
“To the airport.”
Oh heck, he was furious, and I had no idea what to say or do to make things better.
“I’m sor—”
“Not now, Lara, okay?”
