Adrian knocked on my door later the same night that I chatted with Tobias. I hated when he stood at my door, expecting me to invite him in. I didn't particularly want to deal with him tonight. I was just so tired. These last few months had left me feeling so emotional and completely drained.
"Ellie, I missed you, but I have bad news. I need to go away to London and I just came to say goodbye," he said, running his finger over my arm. Goose pimples shot over my skin and I swallowed hard. I couldn't do this right now.
"For business?" I asked casually.
"Yes, I have some things that I need to take care of. Will you miss me?"
"Of course. I was looking forward to our next date," I told him, and then yawned. It was late and I was hinting that I was planning to have an early night.
