Caught red-handed. FUBAR. Soup Sandwich.
All terms that would describe my current predicament.
Just a few months ago, I was happy as can be, reuniting with my childhood friend and realizing she was the one for me.
Then, the senator entered the picture—aka my father—and everything went sideways.
Now Isla looks at me with distrust. The love that used to shine bright in her eyes is replaced with wariness. I’d give anything for a do-over, but since that’s not going to happen, I’ll have to find another way to make it up to her.
So, when she gets a job offer in New York, I go with her, eager to be of any help I can.
But I may also be holding back another secret. I’m not exactly certain it’s safe for her to go. Which will be another strike against me if I get caught.
Enter Fox.
He’ll be my backup, working with me to ensure her safety at all times. I know I can’t follow her wherever she goes. Eventually, she’ll push me away.
It’s a foolproof plan. It can’t fail.
At least, that’s what I thought.
