Chapter 53: Distracting Yourself With Work

Landon's POV:

I'm sitting at my desk by half eight, drinking a cappuccino as I shift through my emails. There are several that have been flagged as urgent, but there's nothing pressing about them at all. It's tedious work replying to them.

I find my mind drifting to thoughts of Aurora asleep in my bed.

It takes all my self-control to stop myself from calling her. To stop myself disturbing her sleep, I pull out my phone and call Henry instead.

"Yes sir?" he answers on the first ring.

"Can you get an egg bap from Café Le Mers and deliver it to my apartment?"

"Yes sir," Henry quickly replies.

"Leave it on the breakfast bar in the kitchen and message me when you've delivered it."

"Yes sir," Henry says before hanging up.

I hold the phone in my hand, my thumb hovering over the call button. I've never been so tempted by the idea of speaking to someone before.

Fortunately, I'm distracted by a knock at the door.

"Come in," I call out.
