“I’m sorry you had to see this,” Damon said.

Inverted déjà vu.The last time she and Charissa’s positions were switched.The view from this side was not welcome.

“Nope.Nope.Nope,” Harper said, fighting Damon for control of her hand.“I’m tagging out.”

Except the jerk wouldn’t let her go.

“I can’t believe this,” Charissa howled and spun on her heels.

Adara, and her outrage, went after her friend.

Why would no one hear her?

“What are you doing?”Harper hissed at Damon, snatching her hand away.

Didn’t matter now they’d lost their audience.

“You’ve got me back,” he said as though she should be grateful.

Ew.No.Definitely not.

“I don’t want you back.I will swear to the highest heaven that the one thing I don’t want now, or ever, is you back.”

“I know I hurt you.You’ve struggled without me, I’ve seen that but that’s over now.I’m yours again.”

“No!”Harper said.“I’m not interested.Stay away from me.”

“Is this about Donald?”

“No,” she said, forgetting for a moment who the hell that was.“This is about me.”

“You’ve got me.”And he couldn’t be more proud of himself.“I’m all yours now.I’ll talk to Donnie.Explain about us.”

When he tried to get closer, she backed away.“There is no us.”

“We can talk about this at home,” he said.“In your bedroom, we—”

“Charissa lives with Adara,” she said of the woman who’d been sharing his bed less than a day ago.“You’re not creeping back into my bed.”

“Davis will understand.”

Her father was not the problem.He was so far, far away from the problem.

“There’s nothing to understand,” she said.“We’re not together.”

“Davis went nuts when we split.Do you want to tell him you’ve lost a second business interest this month?We walk into that house together and—”

“Everyone will assume you and Charissa split because of me.”

He shrugged.“Maybe.”

“This is nuts!Your relationship falls apart and now it’s my fault?”

All she’d done was get out of bed and somehow this had become her day.

“Davis—”

“Enough,” Harper said, retreating.“I’m not walking in there and covering you.I’m sick of these games.”
