“Axel texted me at the end of the workday.
Can’t. Have a hot date.
He texted back quicker than I could put my phone down. With who?
Who do you think?
He stopped texting me and called me instead. “You guys are back together?”
“You know, you don’t look like a girl but you sure act like one.”
Axel ignored the jab. “Answer the question.”
I smiled and felt odd doing it. Smiling wasn’t in my nature—unless Francesca was involved. “Yeah.”
“Why did she take you back?”
“I think I proved how sorry I was.” And I showed her I would never leave her again.
“Can I tell Marie?”
I laughed into the phone. “I’m sure she already knows.”
“If she does, she hasn’t told me yet,” he said.
