“Please, marry me. I need you.” My voice cracked, and I swallowed hard. “I feel whole now that you’re here. I never want to be without you. And I don’t want you to be without me. If you let me, I’ll be the person who stands by you for the rest of your life.”
“Yes!” she exclaimed, her hands over her mouth in shock, muffling her words.

“I see a man who can’t help but stare at you whenever you’re with him. Do you see that look in my eyes, Cynthia, sweetheart?” She flicked her gaze to the photo and back up to my face, nodding, clearly confused. I almost smiled. “I couldn’t even look at the camera. That’s how I feel whenever you’re near me. You’re the only person I see, even in a crowded room. You’re the only person I want to see.”

“Letting her stay with me had been the smartest decision I’d ever made. She’d hate to hear it described that way, as if I’d given her permission. No, in her mind, she demanded her due and gotten it. Just like she did every day. Damn, I love that woman.”

“So, this is the famous Cynthia. Nice to meet you.” Miles shook her hand.
“Famous?” Her brows went up.
“Oh, yeah. Man, if you knew how much he talked about you when you were just his roommate. Not to mention now that you’re together.” Miles shook his head, and I reddened. Cynthia turned to me, her eyes glinting.
“Care to explain?” She stepped in to me and smiled, open and bright.
“I was obsessed with you. Even before I realized it myself.”
“Good. That’s how I prefer it.” She kissed me and turned back to her conversation.”

“Meeting the Closer in person.” Margo raised a brow. “You’re taller than I expected.”
“The Closer?” I questioned.
“Oh god,” Cynthia said. “He doesn’t know about the nickname.”
“So back before you and I were dating, Margo and I used to talk about you. Andrew, close your ears for this one.”
Andrew rolled his eyes. “I’m well aware of your sexual harassment of this poor guy. I have ears. And you’re not very quiet on the phone.” Margo reddened.
Sexual harassment? I grinned. This would be good.”

This was going to be fun.”

“Oh, yes, please.” I hardened under my suit pants at her words.
“It’s like you want me constantly aching for you.”
“I wouldn’t mind.” She grinned up at me and my heart threatened to beat through my chest. “Thank you,” she said. “Thank you for being brave enough to come here and chase me.” Her eyes were serious and deep. “Lucky for both of us that you did.”
“Lucky indeed,” I responded.”

“Having you, and then having you ripped away… This past week has been the worst week of my life. Those weeks in the rental house were probably the best. I’m sorry for that day in the conference room. And I’m sorry, I’m so sorry if you ever thought I didn’t want you or that I wanted you to change. If you let me, I’ll spend every day forcing you to take things for yourself. Making you share your burdens with me. Say you want this.”
“Jason,” I whispered. “Every night in that rental house, I though to myself that one day a very lucky girl would get to keep you. I ached to be that girl. If you want me, I’m all in.”
“I love you.” He crushed me against his chest.
“I love you too,” I murmured the words into his neck. “I love you, Jason Elliot. I want all your fucked-up parts and your cooking skills and the hot stuff you like in bed. Give it all to me.”
“Good. It’s yours.”
― Sophia Travers, My Office Rival

“I’m actually typing ‘fuck Jason Elliot’ over and over again while I make you squirm. Is it working?”

“Okay, what if you showed up at her house while she’s packing and you do a grand gesture?” Miles asked, as he lay on the floor with his whiskey balanced on his stomach.
“You mean like the boom box thing?” Jonah asked, his tone crisp as ever.
“You are emotionally stunted,” Miles tossed back, as he did a crunch to take a sip of his drink.
“She is so not a boom box kind of girl,” I added. “She would slam the door in my face.”
“Have you texted her?” Jonah asked.
“Nope. I mean I’ve thought about it, but I haven’t.” I had been too scared that she wouldn’t respond.
“Do it,” Miles said decisively.
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea. Maybe when I’m sober.” I would say something idiotic with this much whiskey in me.
“What if you showed up in Texas?” Jonah blurted.
“Showed up, like at her door?” Miles sounded skeptical.
“You’re Mr. Romantic. Doesn’t that sound like a good idea? Something a weak-chinned idiot in a rom-com movie would do?” Jonah grumbled, and I huffed a laugh.
Weak-chinned was such a Jonah thing to say. “I don’t even know where she’s going to be.”
“So find out,” Jonah retorted.”

“Do you need help?” I whisper-shouted at him and she smiled. He swatted me on the behind.

“I love this townhouse. I guess I’d forgotten what it looked like. It’s very old New York. Dark, elegant. Kinda like you,” she teased.
“Elegant, eh? That’s what you see?”
“Oh, yeah.” She fanned herself. “I told you, GQ model. It’s the suits. And the cheekbones. You should call Calvin Klein if this whole lawyering thing falls through. I’d pay for photos of you in your underwear.”
