Nicky had been gone all day. Not that he’d stalked the corridors or anything. He hadn’t even rung her phone about a dozen times and disconnected before the answer machine switched on. He was acting like an expectant father, waiting for a miracle to be born at the end of a painful delivery. And he’d need every bit of heavenly salvation he could get if Nicky bothered talking to him again. After the way he’d slammed his narrow definition of a relationship down her throat yesterday, he’d be lucky if he ever saw her again. Pushing his hands through his hair, he walked onto the balcony and peered over the wall separating their apartments. The security lights flicked on and he got a great view of her empty apartment. Talk about desperate. He wanted to talk to her, needed to explain why he’d lashed out at her. Patrick’s lies and deceit had cracked a chunk of emotional baggage off the iceberg he’d frozen himself inside. But his best friend’s betrayal didn’t come close to excusing his behavior.
