Chapter 49

As much as Brandi wanted to stay with Zach, she was too independent to take his offer of hospitality. Her apartment had been released according to Fred, so when she woke to find Zach gone, she decided that she might as well move back there until her relationship with Zach progressed.

Zach had left David to drive her where she wanted. Her car was at her cottage, so she took advantage of David being at her disposal.

“You sure about this, Brandi?” he asked as he pulled out of the parking garage.

“I am, David. I like my space. I’ve lived alone for a few years now and I like it. Were you given orders to not take me home?”

“Mr. Wilder only said to take you where you want to go.”

At least Zach hadn’t tried to keep her there. He would probably rather her be there if she wanted, not be forced to stay. “I just like being surrounded by my stuff.”
