I needed to call Randa, to ask her what I was supposed to do. And how I was supposed to get out of the potential mate situation.

But I couldn’t call her.

She was spending her honeymoon in a gorgeous, secluded cabin on the outskirts of Scale Ridge with Jasper. And I wasn’t going to interrupt the love fest.

Which gave me one choice:

Elodie.

My fingers trembled as I pulled up my texts with her. Calling would be easier, but I didn’t think Eli had left. So I couldn’t talk to her without him hearing.

Eli’s eyes are flaming

My phone rang as soon as the last text went through, but I hit the red button to refuse before Eli could hear it ring.

He won’t leave my apartment, so there’s only a door between us
