Chapter 54: The Cheating Man

POV: Rory

Scott and I woke up and readied ourselves for the day. Scott wore a double-breasted suit and wingtips. He looked handsome in his suit, but he had a heavy cough he couldn’t seem to get rid of.

“Are you alright?” I asked as he rolled his bags out to the car and lifted them into the trunk. I adjusted the car seat to my height and changed the angles of the mirrors as Scott settled in the passenger seat.

“I’m fine,” he said, still coughing.

I lifted my hand and touched the back of it to his forehead. He pulled my hand down and linked his long fingers through mine.

“I said I’m fine. We’d better go before I’m late.”

“You mean they won’t hold the flight for you,” I teased, trying to lighten his mood. He’d been in a funk since the dinner with Zeke.

“You know I’m using the jet, but I still like to be on time for these things.”

“I know.”
