TessWhen I got back home, Grier was waiting for me. “Oh s**t, Tess!” He said after he saw me. He scooped me up in his arms and apologized profusely. He sent me flowers at work every day and even attempted to cook dinner, it was a miserable failure so we ordered takeout for the rest of the week. More importantly, he hadn’t had a drop of alcohol. He seemed to really be trying. Over the next few days, I tried to call Tucker, but he never answered. I missed him so much that my heart yearned for him. I thought about just showing up at his house, but I didn’t know what he would do. I decided to try one more time, I was going to send a message and if he didn’t respond I would let it go, as much as I didn’t want to. Chapter 53
