The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 421

Still reeling from the shock, Suzie Sterling shot him a few panicked glances. In her current state, she was in no position to argue, so she bolted out the door.

She ducked behind a clothing rack, changing into her own outfit as fast as humanly possible, waiting for her racing heart to finally slow down. But the thought of what had just happened—the fact that he had seen everything—sent an uncontrollable, searing heat straight to her cheeks.

She didn't dare linger. Snatching up her clutch and phone from the sofa, she hurried out of the suite.

Inside, Jamie Baylor heard the front door click shut, but he didn't move an inch. It was as if Suzie had taken his soul with her. He leaned lazily against the corner cabinet, a fiery, intense heat flashing in his dark eyes.

Early the next morning.

After dropping the kids off at kindergarten, Suzie headed toward Timefly Studio. But before she even got close, her phone, sitting in her purse on the passenger seat, began ringing and buzzing incessantly. The notifications were relentless.

Given her recent close call when Chester Lambert had rear-ended her, she didn't dare take her eyes off the road to dig around for her phone. She drove another block before finally spotting an empty parking space along the curb.

Once the car was in park, she grabbed her phone. It was still ringing. The caller ID flashed: Hayden Wycliffe.

Suzie quickly swiped to answer. "Hayden, what's going on?"

"Are you almost at the office?" Hayden's voice sounded completely normal, giving nothing away.

She frowned slightly. "Almost. Just a couple of stoplights away."
