“Max!” I yelled.

He stopped and turned around. I threw my purse down and ran to him, wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him the most passionate kiss possible.

“Promise me you’ll always dance.”

“Only if you will.” He smiled.

Chapter Seventeen

All of Macy’sboxes were packed and sitting in the hallway for the company to come pick them up and ship them off to Paris.

“You sure you have everything?” I asked as I gave her a pout.

“Yep. I sure do. Here’s my key to the apartment.”

“Are you sure I can stay an extra couple of weeks?”

“Yeah. My agency said the new buyer isn’t in any hurry to move in and that he understands your situation.”

I gave her a long hug as tears filled my eyes. “Good luck in Paris, and I’ll be seeing you in all the magazines.”

“I’ll let you know when I get there, and we’ll Facetime just like we used to. Keep me posted on things with Max.”

“I will. I love you, Macy. Have a safe trip.”

“Love you too, girl. I’ll talk to you soon.”

Just as she was walking out the door, Max, whom I hadn’t seen in over a week, walked in.

“Hey, Macy. Have a good trip, and be safe in Paris.”

“Thanks, Max. Good luck with everything.”

Max shut the door and looked at me before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into a warm embrace. “You okay?”

“Yeah. I’m just a little sad she’s gone. We barely got to spend any time together.”

“I know. I’m sorry. How about we order in and then watch a movie? Maybe have a little sex to take your mind off things.”

I lifted my head. “Did you just really say that?”

He chuckled. “Yeah, I did. Sorry.”

I smacked him on the chest and asked him what he wanted for dinner.

“By the way, where were you all week?”

“Working. Between my dad’s company and trying to get things settled with my new company, it’s been crazy.”

I understood and was already getting used to the fact that he wasn’t around much. It was probably for the best anyway since we only had two weeks left of our engagement. Max would turn twenty-six next week, and we would break up a week later.

“I bought you something.” He smiled as he pulled a tissue-wrapped item out of his pocket.

“For what?”

“Open it.”

I slowly unwrapped the tissue paper, and inside was a beautiful sterling silver crystal butterfly key ring. I held it up and smiled.
