Luke

I hailed a taxi outside the teah to kick down a door, but I wasn’t going to do that in DC I gave him the address for the Deluxe and sat back as the driver turned every corner in this damn city Why in the fuck were all the streets one-way?

I paid the guy and took the elevator to the top floor This alone was a risk, but it was better than the one Alexa illing to take

I banged on the door

“Helena, I’m not—”

Her crystal blue eyes locked on mine when she whipped the door open

“What are you doing here?”

I barged past her “We have to talk”

“I’uitar case

I stood between her and the door “I have to tell you so”

I never wanted this to co that had happened between Alexa andCharlie had forced my hand

“Can we do this later?”

“No” I gripped the case frouitar on the floor I could tell it made her mad

“Luke, let me out of here”
