“What?” Jenny glanced over her shoulder, then back to Fiona. “Who’s that?”
“Freddie.”
Freddie met her gaze and walked straight toward her.
“What are you doing here?” Fiona growled before he’d even stopped.
“I came to see you. I don’t have your address, so I was counting on you being at work.”
Jesus Christ. She grabbed his arm and tugged him toward the door.
“Fiona—” Jenny hissed.
“I’ll be back in a sec.”
Rick wouldn’t like it, but hell, she was basically done for the day. She waited until they were outside, standing several feet to the side of the library door, before turning to face the guy. “I don’t know what the hell made you think driving an hour and a half to see me today was a good idea, but it wasn’t. Go home!”
His jaw clicked. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the wedding.”
“Sinceyourwedding to mysister,you mean? God, have you lost your mind? This is so inappropriate.”
“I know.” He scrubbed a hand through his hair. “But I felt something for you at the wedding. You were giving me mixed signals.”
She gaped at the man. “Mixed signals? Are you serious? Freddie, I can only say this clearly so many times. I amnotinterested in you anymore. I am happily dating someone else, and you aremarriedto mysister!”
God, why did she have to keep repeating that to this guy?
Freddie stepped closer and touched her arm. “Fiona—”
“Hey!”
They both looked up to see Callum walking toward them from the lot. Well, less walking and more storming like he was on a damn mission. She also saw Jenny step outside, arms around her waist, watching with a worried look on her face.
Freddie cursed when he saw Callum. “What the fuck are you doing here?”
“What amIdoing here?” Callum stopped close and tugged Fiona behind him. “I’m the boyfriend, Freddie. What areyoudoing here?”
“That’s none of your damn business.” He looked back to her. “I’m staying at the Tamarack Lodge in Ketchum tonight. Please come talk to me.”
Her insides rolled. “I won’t. You need to go home to your wife.”
Callum stepped closer to him. “Go. Away.”
“Fuck you!” Then Freddie pushed Callum…or attempted to. Callum moved so quickly, his actions were a blur, grabbing the arm that had shoved him and spinning Freddie around. “Get the fuck off me, asshole!”
Callum didn’t. In fact, he shoved Freddie against the wall, lowered his head, and quieted his voice. “You will leave Cradle Mountain, and you will stay the hell away from Fiona. If I see you touch her again or even speak to her, I will break your fucking hand.”
When Callum didn’t immediately release him, she stepped forward and touched his arm. “Callum. It’s okay.”
One more beat, and he finally released her ex. Freddie pulled away, straightening his clothes and looking mad as hell at Callum before storming off.
Jenny slipped back inside as Callum turned to Fiona, hands going to her waist. “You okay?”
“You did it again.”
He frowned. “What?”
“I didn’t need saving just now, Callum.”
