CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
“I LOVE IT OUT HERE.” Jonathan walked Dee onto the stone platform of his third-floor terrace equipped with an outdoor fire pit and custom seats. “Come here.”
She of course kept her distance.
“This place takes you away, doesn’t it?” Jonathan sat on the unlit fire pit. “The longer I’m here the more fascinating it is.”
“This place is gorgeous.” Dee turned in a circle. “I still don’t want to stay here with you.”
“You’ll change your mind.”
“No chance.”
“Once you remember how happy we were together, you’ll never want to leave.”
She swallowed, darting her eyes.
“Deidra, in the three months we shared you said I made you happier than you’d ever been.”
“You drugged me. Nothing I did or said during that time was real.”
“It was.” His face crinkled. “You’re a part of us.”
