“It’ll take time,” Nate says, giving my hand a squeeze. “But one day, when you’ve met the man you’ll spend your life with, you’ll look back and be grateful that asshole showed his true colors so you could move forward.”

“You haven’t moved forward,” I point out since he said he’s not in a relationship.

“No.” He smiles sadly. “I’d like to. I’d love to meet someone I can share my life with. My parents have been married for over thirty years and are still madly in love.”

“But…”

“But sometimes, I think maybe I’m destined to be married to my job.”

“Or maybe you just haven’t met the right woman yet.”

“Maybe.”

His eyes lock with mine, and butterflies, which have no business being anywhere near me, attack my chest.

“So, what do you say?” he asks. “You going to show me the magic of London?”

I open my mouth to say yes, but stop myself because maybe I’m thinking too much into this, but I can’t risk it. It’s easy to get swept up in a city like London, and right now, I feel extremely vulnerable.

“I live in Houston, Texas,” I tell him, not bothering to mention Rosemary since it’s too small of a town for anybody to know. “Do you live anywhere near there?”

The chances of him living near me are slim, and since I’ve already experienced the heartbreak of being in a long-distance relationship, I’m not doing that again. Which means, if I’m going to spend time with his gorgeous man, I need to make sure the line is clearly drawn so there’s no risk of it blurring.

He quirks a questioning brow, but then says, “I live in—”

I shake my head. “Don’t tell me. Just answer my question. Do you live near Houston? Close enough that if there were an emergency, like, say, if a huge spider appeared in my shower and I needed you to come save me, you could be there before the spider killed me?”

He snorts out a laugh. “What the hell kind of spiders do you have in Houston?”

“The kind that nightmares are made of,” I deadpan, making him laugh again.

“No,” he says with a sigh. “I don’t live close enough to save you from the deadly spider, but—”

No buts,” I say, refusing to let him come up with an argument. “I did the long-distance thing and have the heartbreak to show for it. I’m not saying this thing between us could be headed in that direction. And I don’t want it to sound like I’m being presumptuous. But I need to protect myself, just in case.

“So, if I agree to show you London over the next few days, you have to agree not to share anything about yourself. What happens in London stays in London.”

“Okay,” he easily agrees. “What happens in London stays in London.”
