“Of course. I’ll call him right now. Will you be okay to get to the airport?”
“I’ll catch a cab.” I groaned when my stomach cramped, and tried to breathe through the pain.
“Okay darling, you be careful, and we will see you soon.”
“Thanks mama.”
I pulled the phone away and clicked end.
“There’s no fucking way you’re going to airport alone,” said Grady. “Get your stuff packed while I call a cab.”
I gave him a weak smile. “I love you, you know that right?”
He patted my knee, returning my smile with a gentle one of his own.
“Of course, my tootsie roll.”
I hadn’t told him what had happened with Stella, but he was too astute not to know that I’d been feeling unlike myself because of Reid. He was just kind enough not to bring it up right then.
“You’re going to be fine,” he said softly, helping me from the floor. “You’ll see.”
I agreed with him. I was going to be fine. I just needed some time to get there.
