Ashley's heart pounded as she forced herself out of his grip and turned to face him. "What are you doing here? How did you get into my car? You scared the shit out of me!"
With a regretful gaze, he stepped down and slipped into the passenger seat, turning to face her.
"I miss you, Ashley. That's why I'm here. I tried to stay away, to give you some space, but…" He chuckled—a low, humorless sound. "I wasn't sure you'd want to see me if I came straight to your office. Luckily, your car wasn't locked," he added with a shrug.
Ashley mentally cursed herself. She'd driven to the office that morning, too lost in thought of Vanessa. No wonder she forgot to lock the car. But damn it, she missed him too. She hadn't expected to—at least not this soon, or this much. But there was no denying it anymore.
