“I thought you didn’t like them. I thought we might go and buy you something you do like.”

“But I do like these.”

“Really? You tried to give them to Erica.”

“I know. She just seemed to really want them. But I don’t think I could have done it. You gave them to me, therefore I like them. I’ll always treasure them.”

He was a fucking fucker. And he didn’t deserve someone as sweet as her.

“How about you keep these clothes, and we’ll also do some shopping for things you actually like. For when you’re not in Little headspace, I mean.”

She shook her head.

“You don’t want more clothes?”

“I don’t need them.”

She did. But he could purchase them for her.

“Sorry dinner with your family was such a disaster.”

“Shouldn’t I be the one apologizing since it was my family?” he asked dryly.

“Why would you apologize for them? They didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Neither did you,” he told her firmly.

“I’m not sure your mum would agree with you. She looked kind of horrified when I gave Alexei the finger.”

“Pfft, everyone has given Alexei the finger at some stage. Even if just inside their head. Although it’s something you’d be best not to do while you’re in Little headspace, understand?”

“Yes, Daddy.”

“That’s Daddy’s good girl. So perfect. So amazing.”

She squirmed. “I’m not really, though.”

“To me, you are.”

“Do you really want me to come with you to Escana?” she asked. “To your sister’s wedding?”

“Baby, I want that more than anything. Please come with us. The only reason I haven’t asked you already is because I didn’t want you to get upset like you did when my mother invited you to dinner.”

“I understand. I . . . can I think about it?”

“Of course.” He kissed her lightly. “I feel like I have been neglecting you lately. I’m sorry.”

“You haven’t been. You have a lot going on.”

“Yes, but I’m hoping by the end of next week that my current assignment will be completed successfully.”

Her heart racedat his words.

She should ask him what he meant. Prod him for information.

That was her job.

Yet she didn’t want to.
