Free Exposed: Book 2 MAC Security Series by Abigail Davies

asked. A smile spreading on my face.
    “Really.” He nodded.
    We were both silent for a couple of minutes, not the awkward kind where you don’t know what to say, but the kind where you’re just thinking.
    “Right…” He clapped his hands and smiled wide. “Now that is out of the way, tell me how things are going.”
    Blowing out a big breath, I considered how much I should tell him. He must have known Serena, I mean, him and Ty had known each other a long time according to Ty.
    I didn’t know how much Ty had told him about the case, or if he had even told him at all. But I thought it was best not to mention that. I cringed when I realized that he didn’t know about me and Ty but that was a conversation for another day.
    “I may as well start from the beginning,” I said, getting comfortable in my chair.

    I could hear Kay’s laugh as soon as I walked into the house, and when I heard Corey’s laugh follow after, I realized what she was doing. I was glad that she’d finally got to video call with Corey, I was fed up with him harassing me to get her to talk to him. There was no way I was going to push her to do anything that she didn’t want to do. I knew that when she was ready to talk to him, that she would.
    Leaving her to finish her video call, I walked into the kitchen, noticing a bag from the burger joint with a note sat in front of it. Picking it up I read it.
    Picked you up a couple of burgers.
    Kay x
    Opening up the bag, I found a couple of burgers and went to warm them through. I was constantly telling Kay that she didn’t need to do this, she always had a hot meal or something for me to eat when I came home. I knew that she was used to doing it, and I really appreciated it, but she didn’t have to.
    Pulling the burger out of the microwave, I took a bite and reflected on my afternoon. As soon as Kay had drove off, Daley came through the gates in his obnoxious car and took me all around town, going on a shopping spree. I didn’t know how he did it. I hated going to the supermarket, and for me, shopping for clothes was a ten-minute activity ordering the same pair of jeans several times, online.
    I couldn’t deal with shops and the assistants who always wanted to…well…assist.
    After he had lunch with whom I assumed was a business associate, he came straight home and was still there when Kitty took over from me.
    Throwing my rubbish in the trash, I walked through the living room and up the stairs, trying not to disturb Kay. We still hadn’t told Corey about us, that was gonna be a fun conversation. I had no doubt that he wouldn’t like it one bit but he’d have to deal, because I wasn’t going anywhere.
    “Love you too, lil’ sis,” I heard Corey say when I got to the top of the stairs.
    I looked at my bedroom door, then over to my office. I desperately needed a shower but the pull Kay had on me was too strong, my feet were already taking me in her direction.
    Pushing the door open, I leaned on the door frame, watching her. Her legs were pulled up to her chest and she wearing one of my t-shirts pulled over her knees. I smiled at that, I loved it when she wore my clothes. My eyes followed the path of her legs up to her face, buried into her knees.
    “Kay?”
    Squeaking, her head shot up and she looked at me with wide eyes. “Oh! You scared me!” she said, her hand going to her chest.
    I frowned as I saw her face and puffy eyes, she’d been crying, and seeing her like that always hit me straight in the gut.
    “What happened?” I gritted out, moving forward. If he’d upset her-
    “Nothing,” she said, shaking her head. “I just miss him.”
    “Yeah?” I said, softer this time. “Did you sort everything out?”
    She puffed out a breath and leaned her head on the backrest of the chair. “Yeah, it’s all sorted.”
    “Then what’s with the tears, sweetheart?” I asked, sitting on the edge of the desk, facing her.
    “I just…I…I wish he could come home.” She looked back at
