Too Late to Win Me Back, Mr. Billionaire novel · Chapter 21 of 32

Chapter 21: Did You Know

I played it four more times with the headphones on.

Every time, there he was.

Faint, behind the rotor and Kenzie's soft little voice, three words I'd heard with my own ears on the lawn.

We'll talk tomorrow.

He'd said them to me with my ring in his hand.

And three feet behind him, in the back seat, Kenzie had been declining my sister's lungs.

I took the headphones off.

Kit was watching me.

"Did he know?" she said.

"I don't know."

"You have to find out."

"I know."

Sawyer finally left for the mail run, forty minutes late.

He kissed the top of my head on his way out and didn't say a word.

Pierce was staying at the Delano Thatch that week, for the vote.

Everyone knew it. His helicopter sat on the inn lawn.

I texted him for the first time since the gala.

Town dock. Noon. Come alone.

He was there at eleven-fifty.

He was standing beside the Kit & Kaboodle in his navy peacoat, with his hands in his pockets.
