Page 87 of Doing It for Love

“I’m sorry,” he says from behind me.

I don’t turn around. “For what?”

“Everything.”

“Which is what?”

He sighs, and I finally turn to look at him with an arched eyebrow. He needs to be specific so I know he won’t pull this shit again. His lips turn up slightly, and he settles his baseball cap on the back of the couch before leaning in.

“I’m sorry for leaving for three days. I’m sorry for not calling you back, not texting you, and for acting like it wasn’t a big deal.”

“Is that all?” It better not be all.

“Uh…is it?”

I shake my head, swivel in my seat, and take a sip of my steaming coffee.

“Um…I’m sorry for…touching your computer?”

“No.”

“I’m sorry for leaving my socks on the floor?”

“We both know you’ll do that again.”

“I’m sorry for deleting your vampire show?”

“You didwhat?”

His silently laughs and slides onto the couch next to me.

“I’m just tossing out shit. I don’t know what else there is—”

“You should be sorry fornotbeing sorry last night.”

He tosses his hands in the air. “How in the hell was I supposed to figure that out?”

“Landon…” I press, and he tugs on the ends of the blanket wrapped around my shoulders, pulling me in close.

“I love you, and I’m sorry for not being sorry.” He rests his forehead against mine. “Did I pass now?”

I nod my approval. “You had me at the Hurdle List.”

“You devil woman.”

“It was very romantic.”

“Very out of character for me.”

“You’re more romantic than you think.”

Landon moves my ponytail off my shoulder as he shakes his head. It finally feels like us again, even with the engagement nearly at a close. My stomach belly-flops at the thought of the wedding being in a little over a month, but instead of getting worked up about it, I toss the blanket off. Landon’s gorgeous eyes bulge and don’t miss a beat drifting down.

“You still want our one-a-month?”

Chapter 28

Even though I proposed our cheat, Landon didn’t take me up on it. Instead he went to work and asked to cash in later. But it’s been five weeks since the naked argument, and I haven’t seen Lord Landon since. The worst part? I haven’t really noticed. Not with all the Wedding Hurdles.
