Forty-five minutes had gone by and still no Maddox.
After the fourteenth call, he finally picked up, only to bark
out a single word. “Leave.”
I stared blankly at my phone, when he hung up. Well…
okay, then. Time for plan B (because I already knew
Maddox was going to make this difficult).
I got the blankets and snacks from my car and parked
my ass on his porch. I used a blanket as a cushion, since

He stopped beside me; his shoes next to my thighs.
Maddox glowered down at me and crossed his arms over
his wide chest. I could see his muscles bulging through the
sweater, and I suddenly forgot what I came here for.
“What truth?” he snapped.
“Grayson told me…”
