\u201cI\u2019m downstairs at your office.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla froze. \u201cWhat happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb\u2019s voice came through the line. \u201cJust felt like seeing you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla blinked. \u201cIs it the end of the world? It\u2019s not like you to care for someone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb\u2019s tone sharpened. \u201cYou\u2019re mushy. I\u2019m leaving.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla said quickly, \u201cAlright, alright, I\u2019ll stop. Wait for me at Al. I\u2019ll drive over and pick you up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her coworker Sacha looked up, surprised at how fast Ayla was packing. \u201cWell, someone\u2019s in a hurry. Got a date tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha didn\u2019t know about her marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla smiled. \u201cNo, it\u2019s just my brother. He doesn\u2019t drop by often.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha grinned. \u201cThen you better go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Ayla left, Will came to look for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha said, \u201cMr. Newton, you showed up a little late. Ayla already headed out. Is it about work? I can take care of it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy God, she\u2019s fast.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s car was still at the bar, and Draven planned to drive her there so she could pick it up. Will only came to call her after that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha kept her answers simple because she did not share Ayla\u2019s private business. \u201cShe had something planned tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will said, \u201cAlright. I understand,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will then shared the news with Draven. \u201cMr. Storm, Ayla had a date. She already left.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since they knew each other well, Will added, \u201cAyla seemed a lot happier after her divorce. She used to stay by herself. Now she went out all the time. I\u2019m happy for her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven stayed silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven looked at him. His eyes carried a heavy pressure that made Will\u2019s stomach tighten.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven seemed upset.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will took a second look. Draven gave no reaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maybe he imagined it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will always believed Draven did not care about Ayla. He treated her like anyone else and never showed\u00a0<\/p>\n
interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven was also the type who went after what he wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he liked Ayla, and Ayla was already divorced, he would not wait until some other man took the chance. Ayla\u2019s looks and presence were striking, and men noticed her everywhere she went. Even Shawn had managed to arrange a blind date with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven would never wait around for that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will stopped thinking about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven acted the same as always. He said nothing else. He stood up and walked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will felt even more sure that he had nothing to worry about. He let it go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb stood at the Al exit and waited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the evening rush hour. Office workers moved through the area. Most of their faces stayed blank.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb owned a start-up. Long hours meant nothing to him. He worked late every night. He never took a day off in a full week. Maybe he loved his work. Maybe he was young and his body could handle it. He did not look tired. He carried the sharp energy of someone driven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla drove toward him. She saw him from far away. He stood out in the crowd like a lone tower.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She always felt annoyed when she looked at him. Yet when he stood among strangers, the contrast hit her. It was not only his looks and presence. His energy was the thing that pulled her in. He looked alive. He looked bright.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla pulled up in front of him and lowered the window. \u201cGet in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb walked around the front of the car without speaking. He tried the back seat. The door refused to give. A tense moment of silence followed as he realized the lock held the door shut. He accepted it and got into the passenger seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla glanced at him. She relaxed once she confirmed he looked steady. She focused on the road. \u201cSo what brings you all the way out here to find me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb had overheard her talk with Juliet earlier. He failed to control his eyes. Emotion pushed through him and his eyes let out tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb felt embarrassed because his eyes had betrayed him, and the sting of it pushed him to walk off\u00a0<\/p>\n
without a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He went back to his company and locked himself in his office. He lit a cigarette and took a slow drag.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More details hit him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he crossed Emmett, Ayla covered for him and apologized on his behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He mocked Max before and claimed Max only invested to watch him fail. Even though nothing happened, Ayla still said she would never let anyone laugh at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb had to admit that Ayla loved him with her whole heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So he made a choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He could not act blind like some jerk who pretended he did not see it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He needed to grow up and act like a man. He needed to treat his sister better too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So he came to Storm Group to find her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb spent the entire afternoon giving himself a pep talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He felt proud that he took the first step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb even planned out what he would do. When he saw Ayla, he would act like a sweet little brother. He would say something warm. Yet before he could follow the plan, his mouth jumped ahead of him as he scoffed, \u201cI obviously came to push you to finish your work!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb froze the second the words came out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wished he could sew his mouth shut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla heard him, and her heart settled. As long as Kaleb still snapped at her, he was his normal self.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He did not fall apart. He did not get overwhelmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you I\u2019m busy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re dragging this on purpose. If I don\u2019t stay on you, you\u2019ll forget Zane\u2019s thing entirely!\u201d Kaleb threw the words out, and then he stopped fighting himself. He let the messy tone stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The perfect little brother role could go to someone else. He could not do something that made his skin crawl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla did not argue with him. \u201cDo you want to go to my place?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
