He pulled out of the parking garage, his mind already winging ahead to the coming night with Cassidy. He loved Cassidy and believed she still loved him, but until she was ready to admit it, he needed to tread carefully. She’d agreed to allow him to stay with her. Not as a lover or even a roommate, but as a tenant. That meant he needed to govern his actions accordingly. He’d wait till after they had a signed, ironclad landlord-tenant agreement between them to work on breaking down her barriers. With that thought in mind, he stopped by the bank and withdrew several hundred in cash. Next, he went grocery shopping. He’d asked Cassidy if she wanted him to pick up dinner, falling easily into the pattern they’d established when they were lovers. That was a mistake. Cassidy claimed she only wanted a non-sexual, co-parenting relationship with him. Max was going to put that claim to the test. Tomorrow he had an appointment with his lawyers. While he was out, he’d meet with his general contractor and set up a date and time for him to come out to the house.
