Something about the hot shower he just took felt off. He should have taken a cold one instead.
His heart was getting more restless. Who the hell sleeps so defenselessly in a man’s room?
Was he overthinking or did Maja have some ulterior motive?
Seeing the blanket on the bed and recalling her in his suit, he picked up the blanket, walked back to the

He chose to ignore it and hit the sack.
Maja woke up in the middle of the night with a painful foot.
She frowned and rubbed her eyes in confusion.
When she remembered where she was, she immediately got up.

box and a few glasses on it shattered.
With such a racket there was no way lan didn’t wake

sympathy.
“Did you run into any trouble in Crystalbrook Valley?”
Maja was taken aback, touched by his concern in the middle of the night, her eyes welling up.
“The problem’s been solved, just really tired, I’m really sorry.”
After a whole night of crying and drama with Daly and Susan, her brain never got a break. Plus, she
was pissed off at Leo’s incompetent cousin. Her head was buzzing all the way driving back.
lan didn’t want to get involved with her too much and turned around, leaving her with one sentence.
