I hoped against hope that I would find something to relieve my anxiety on it. But his texts were all boring and professional.
Except the ones from me.
I flicked to the pictures. Nothing of his. Nothing he’d taken.
Nothing except every single picture I’d ever sent to him. Every steak dinner, every meme, every cool piece of art, every random Pride & Prejudice joke.
“This is the phone of a stone-cold psychopath,” I said. “Where’s all the thirsty texts from your one-night stands? Texts from your drug dealers?”
“I don’t use my phone very much.”
“You’ve got texts in here from me fromyearsago,” I said, my voice heading to a high pitch.
My stomach felt like it was turning over, trying to avoid the conclusion staring me in the face.
“I love you, Luna,” he said, his eyes on me. “I always have.”
The wordshow long?hovered on my lips, but maybe I didn’t want to know.
“I want to go home,” I said. “You’re scaring me, Luke. You’re not a normal person. Youcan’tbe.”
“You can’t go home,” he said, and as I began backing away from him, he pushed off the table and advanced on me.

I opened my mouth to scream, and suddenly Ignatius opened the door and walked in the room.
“I’ve got our plane tickets. Ready to go to Edmonton?”
I escaped to stand beside the Business Manager, trying to use all my analytical skills to think calmly.
One thing at a time.
First, the plane to Edmonton.

CHAPTER 11
Luke
It took a little persuasion to get Luna to sit down next to me on the plane, but she was so tired she fell asleep pretty quickly.
I think I need to take my sweet little mama in hand. She isn’t resting like she should be. I’ll need a firm hand to make sure she takes good care of herself. Nothing is more important to me than her and our baby.
And when she sees how I’ve planned this whole tour because she’s always wanted to visit Canada, she’ll see how much I love her. Especially our next stop of Prince Edward Island.
