Chapter 27

  • Talia rose from her desk, proposal in hand, and headed to Rafe’s office. Her steps faltered when she realized how personal she had referred to him. No, she should go back to referring to him as DeLuca, keeping things uncomplicated. Three days had gone by since that night and, though she’d barely seen him the whole day, she was sure he was going on with his life like nothing had happened, unlike her. She was in her own game of hide and seek, actually a part two of it.
  • Before, he was the one avoiding her, now she was the one doing the hiding. But enough of that, she needed her proposal approved and signed. On the yacht, he’d told her to brief the proposal into one page and she’d done just that in three short paragraphs. For her presentation, she had only three minutes to convince him that the project would benefit the company and she was sure she’d done that too. Now the only thing that was left was presenting it to him and there was no way she wanted an audience or her bosses finding out what she was doing. So, here she was again, one of the last two left behind in the dimly lit, quiet office, a horror movie in the making where the Black girl dies first. She really didn’t like staying late. The normally lit and semi noisy place creeped her out when it got so quiet and dark.
  • She got to DeLuca’s door and found it ajar. Unusual. He liked to keep everyone out so the door was always shut. She peeked in and quickly took a step back, her heart taking a hit. Breathlessly, she grabbed at her chest and shook her head from side to side. There was no way she saw that right.
