Break Up with Him, for Me: A ‘Friends to Lovers’ Romance
Page 29
“Sure.” I officially gave up on the idea of her ever knowing and accepting when a meeting was over.
“Great! I’ll let myself out.” She slipped into her heels and headed toward the door.
I walked over to the spot where I’d thrown my phone and picked it up, somewhat surprised it was still in one piece. Before I could call my doorman and tell him that Anna was not an exception to my “call me first” rule, I heard her clearing her throat.
“Yes, Anna?”
“I wanted to ask you one last thing,” she said. “Did you see the note about Charlotte Taylor?”
“What?” I turned around. “What did you just say?”
“Charlotte Taylor.” She shrugged and held up the invitation. “There was a little note on the back about her. Did you see it?”
I didn't answer. I rushed over and took the card from her hands. Flipping it over, I spotted a handwritten note in faint purple ink:
Grayson,
I hope all is well with you. I know we haven't spoken in quite a while, but between you and me …
Charlotte Taylor RSVP’d for this reunion a few weeks ago.
I thought you would want to know.
—Nadira
I stared at the note for several seconds, feeling my blood boil with each written word.
I hadn’t heard from Charlotte since I graduated college. I’d spent thousands of dollars looking for her the first year she left me, and all I ever found were confirmations that she’d moved overseas, started a new life, and married someone who wasn’t me.
Just the mere mention of her name was bringing back all the memories of what we once had. What we once swore would never come to an end.
To this day, I’d never loved anyone the way I loved her. Hell, I honestly hadn’t “loved” anyone since her because no other woman ever compared, and it still made me angry whenever I remembered that she never had the decency to give me a damn goodbye.
“Well, I guess that's that,” Anna said. “But you know, now I think we can kill two birds with one stone during the lunch with Nike, if you don’t mind. In addition to meeting your reps, we can finally film two of those short—”
“I won’t be joining you for lunch tomorrow.” I looked over the handwritten note one last time, knowing I wouldn’t be able to focus on anything else for the rest of the day. “I’m going to the reunion.”
“Okay. Well, it’s not until Tuesday evening, Grayson. You can still join us for lunch Monday, sign your name on a few papers, and fly out to Pittsburgh in the afternoon.”
“I’m flying there tonight.”
