Unsuitable
“Last night his head was so full of Audrey, the sucking gut-awful panic she was going to play his bluff and order him to the nearest building site, then the way kissing her short-circuited his brain, he’d left his copy of her keys somewhere inside the house.
Normally it wouldn’t matter. The front door usually stood open when he arrived in the morning. But now it was a huge problem. Mia wasn’t just crying, he could hear her distress, and he was locked out of fixing whatever it was, and it might m...ake Audrey run late.
He rang the bell, feeling like a right berk. He wasn’t sure whether to play it cool with Audrey or...yeah, there was no other option, he had to be cool.
Mia’s crying got closer till he would see her form through the frosted glass panel in the door. “Good morning, Mia. Silly Reece forgot his keys, can you open the door for me?”
“Mum won’t wake up.”
He played the door handle again. It didn’t shift. “Mia, can you open the door for me.”
He heard her scrabble at the handle too.MoreLess
