Only With You (The Knights, #2)

by E. Salvador

“Is something wrong with the flowers in the trash?” Gabby interrupts my thoughts, dragging my focus away from Landon to the stainless steel trash can. “Huh?” A small crease forms between her brows and stares at me, bemused. “There are white roses in the trash. I didn’t take them out, but they look perfectly fine to me.” “White roses? White…ro…ses.” No he didn’t. I stalk to the trashcan and sure enough, they’re in there. Some of the petals have wilted a little, but other than that, they look great. “Oh, they, uh, they had…bugs. Yeah, they had bugs, so I threw them away.” “Oh, okay.” My answer seems to be enough because she nods. “So where did you get the electric blue and white half moon lobelias?” She points at the table where a small clay pot sits, filled with a bunch of tiny white and blue flowers. How had I not noticed them before? They’re so bright, they’re hard to go unnoticed. “Um…yesterday?” I don’t sound sure, but it’s the only good response I can muster. Thankfully, they’re oblivious to my internal turmoil and my battling thoughts of denial and disbelief, because there’s no way Landon bought me flowers.
