Chapter 287

• Rhode 's P.O.V
• I fucked up, I really fucked up, and it took her storming out of the room for me to realise just how badly I had actually fucked up. Something in my gut told me that Kate would do something like this, but I ignored it and held out an olive branch for her. We talked a little while ago after my last trip to New York, just after Amelia and I got back together. I knew she still wanted to occasionally hook up, but I made it clear to her that it would never be happening again. She accepted that, and said that she hoped we could still be friends, which is what I wanted too. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I shouldn't have gone against Amelia to do it.
• Fuck I've really screwed this up, but I can fix it, I know I can. I turn back around to the staircase and take the stairs two at a time. I know I heard a door slam, but when I walk into the master bedroom she's not there, and neither are her bags. She couldn't have snuck out of the apartment without me noticing, but I'm still anxious to find her. I walk back down the hallway and try a couple of the doors that lead to guest bedrooms, they're all empty. I try the last door, and find it locked. There's my girl.
