He's my best friend's dad. I've known him since freshman year.
And I'm currently barefoot in his kitchen at 6 AM wearing his shirt.
Dr. Dominic Cross. Chief of cardiology. Forty-eight. Salt at the temples, steady hands, and blue-gray eyes that have never once looked at me the way they're looking at me now.
I'm a pastry chef between jobs and apartments. Sadie-his daughter, my best friend-offered me the guest room. Just temporary. A few weeks. Until I'm back on my feet.
Then Sadie left for a six-week work trip. And it's just us. His too-quiet house. My flour on his counters. Mornings where we orbit each other like we don't both know what's building.
I bake for him. He pretends not to notice. The AC breaks during a heat wave, and suddenly there's nowhere left to hide-not from the heat, and certainly not from him.
Now I lie to Sadie every time we talk on video. Keep my smile steady. The background tidy. Pretending her father hasn't taken me apart in every room of this house.
If she finds out, I lose my best friend. If I leave, I lose him. And if I stay...
He's already convinced himself that wanting me is the worst thing he's ever done. I'm starting to think losing me might be worse.
