She hurried down the hallway and yanked the door open,harder now, so hard that it bounced back up when it hit the stone pathway “You alone?” she asked, peeking behind him

“Yeah,” Jake answered as he slipped out of his work boots “Damn, it’s nasty out there” He shook sorin, but it was a grin that didn’t exactly creep into his eyes “I’ht I’d stop in for coffee”

Coffee Right Jake was a two-cups-in-the-uy, and she knew damn well that he’d had his two cups with Raine Her stomach roiled, and for a second, Lily felt bile rise in the back of her throat This was so not about coffee

She really needed to get it together

Lily pointed to the kitchen, and Jake followed her down the hall, sliding his large frame onto one of the chairs at her counter while she poured him a cup

“So,” she said as she pushed theon?”

Jake knew her well enough to know that she wasn’t into bullshit, and she appreciated when he cut to the chase

“Mac’s at my place”

“Huh,” she said, her

After the scene at his mother’s place, he’d dropped her back here and then left for the ball diamond He hadn’t said much to her other than he wasn’t sure if he’d be back She kneas angry and confused and pissed off, but she had no idea how to deal with it and no idea how to comfort him

She’d pressed a kiss to his cheek and told him to call her when he was ready

But he never called

“Sal got ahold ofme to scoop his drunk ass up from the Coach House” Jake set his cup onto the counter “He was in bad shape I haven’t seen hiet into it?”

Lily’s eyebrows shot up “What? He told you that we got into a fight?”

“No He didn’t sayabout Boston, and I just figured that you and hiot into it”
