But quickly, my laughter stopped, and my humor disappeared. | remembered the reason that | had called my
friend in the first place. What if Ethan was waiting at Alexander's door so that he could fight him?
Just the thought of something happening to Alexander made cold fear shoot down my spine. And to make
matters worse, he could get hurt because of his involvement with me. | didn’t have any doubt that Alexander
could hold his own against Ethan, but | knew my ex- husband. He never fought fair and wasn’t afraid to fight
dirty. | wasn’t sure if he even knew the word honorable.
“Please, Ava, just find a way to get rid of Ethan by whatever means necessary,” | said and opened the cooler’'s
door and grabbed Alexander a water bottle. Then, | walked around the store and just put random stuff in my
basket to explain my long absence. | wasn’t even looking at the things | was buying.
“I will,” my friend replied. “Don’t worry, Olivia. You can count on me.”
After we hung up, | bought my items. The total was a lot higher than | was expecting, but | handed over my
credit card without complaint. Then, | walked back outside. Ethan was leaning against the side of the building

But then, he pulled out a bottle of cheap whiskey and three boxes of jumbo-sized condoms.
| squeaked, and a hot blush spread throughout my whole body. How had | not noticed that | grabbed those
things? Sure, | had been distracted on my call with Ava, but still. | couldn't believe | did that.
Alexander's face was unreadable when he held the boxes of condoms in his hands. “Care to explain?”
Frantically, | searched my mind for an explanation. “Um, well, | wanted a box of a certain type of candy, and |
guess | just grabbed the Wrong box.”
Inwardly, | cringed. My excuse sounded weak even to my own ears.
“But you couldn't have grabbed three boxes in a row by accident,” he pointed out. “Besides, the condoms and
candy aren’t even in the saisle.”
| blew out a long breath, and then my shoulders slumped in defeat. “Fine, I'd been distracted because | was on
the phone in the store, and | was just grabbing things at random,” | admitted.
Realization sparked in Alexander's eyes. “So, that’s why you offered to get my water from the store? It wasn’t
because you wanted to thankfor dinner.
