I get home Tuesday morning around 8 AM and collapse on my couch.
Still in yesterday’s clothes. Still smelling like Adrian’s office. Still thinking about Vanessa’s text.
My phone rings.
Mia.
“This better be important,” I answer.
“Check my blog. NOW.” She sounds panicked. “Zara, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know—”
I’m already opening my laptop. “What are you talking about?”
“Just look. I’ll call you back.”
She hangs up.
I navigate to her blog: *Society Secrets: The Real Tea.*
The top post is already viral. 47,000 shares.
**“Knight in Shining Armor? Adrian Knight’s Mystery Romance Gets Steamy”**
And there are the photos.
Me and Adrian. From this morning. His office building.
Lobby. His arm around me. My head on his shoulder.
Elevator. Him kissing my forehead.
Parking garage. The way
