Chapter 28

“In the city you have to think about that all the time,” Davey told Brian.

“Why don’t you suggest that Jake get a house down here?” Brian wanted to see how invested Davey was in Jake.

“I told him he should although it was none of my business, but for what he pays for hotel suites he could easily afford a mortgage here with a house as big as the penthouse.” Davey got frown lines between his brows.

“What did he say?”

“He said if I decided to hang around, he’d consider it, but for now we’ll stay at the Marriott.”

“Hmm, Jake sounds committed.”

“Maybe. But I can’t say he loves me. Really it’s me holding back. My brain tells me that three days is a short time to know someone before you commit to them—but he’s so loveable and no one has paid me this much attention in my life unless you count Kyle who did it for a nefarious purpose. But, frankly, I’m afraid of pain, too many beatings as a kid.”
