She wondered if Jonathan had even noticed.
Nadine told herself he had to have noticed. She hadn’t been to see him, hadn’t called even, in three days.
But if he’d been hard to work… he might not have realized the time had passed.
Just in case he was annoyed at her or he’d forgotten to stop working long enough to eat, she’d bought a dinner for two. She didn’t know what she’d tell him, how much she should say. He deserved to know everything, of course, but…
She’d have to tell him about Harvey eventually. He’d encouraged her, yes, but he still deserved to know that the impossible had happened. Harvey had- for the first time as far as Nadine was concerned- showed genuine interest. They’d slept together, rather than just sharing the bed. But Jonathan had told her that was fine. He had his work, and she had Harvey. That was what he’d said.
So why did she feel wary about telling him?
Then there were the files. Oh god. How was she supposed to tell him about the files? She’d sacrificed all of her principles for Harvey.
Nadine knocked at the door. Three days certainly wasn’t enough time to make her forget how to find him. As she waited for some answer from inside, she fingered the alexandrite necklace she wore. It was a fairly inexpensive little thing, bought with some of the money Harvey had given her.
No reason she couldn’t spoil herself just a little.
