Love Drug Novel

To believe what Fraser had told her .

To believe in that look in his eyes overflowing with warmth and something close to adoration .

Julias sharp gaze landed squarely on her daughter .

Her voice was light but serious .

Are you sure ? Those two words Im sure circled in Summers mouth for a long time , but she couldnt bring herself to say them .

Julia finally said , We havent left yet .

Youve got this month to figure it out .

If you decide you want to be with him , Im not some old fashioned relic I just want whats best for you .

But if he wants to be with you , he needs to do it the right way .

Let the Graham family come to our door and propose properly .

With that , Julia stood up and left the room .

Summer took a long shower , then curled up in bed with The Pregnancy Guide open on her lap .

The book hadnt moved past the first page in over half an hour .

Her mind wasnt in it .

Fraser had said he wanted to marry her .

But with Mr.

Grahams recent passing , she knew nothing would happen for at least three months .

And she understood what Julia meant .

She was worried .

She had every right to be .

Her phone suddenly rang .

Summer glanced at the screen and answered .

Frasers voice came through , hoarse and lazy .

Im outside your place .

Wanna come down ? Summer blinked .

Why are you here ? I told you I was staying home tonight .

know .

From the drivers seat , Fraser looked up at the faint glow from her second floor window .

So … are you coming out ? No.

Summer could hear the rasp in his voice .

Hearing that number made her immediately tense .

If youve got a fever , why are you outside ? Why didnt you go to the hospital ? Im not a doctor .

I dont want a doctor .

I just want to see you .

She wanted to scream .

Why was he like this ? If he couldnt even take care of himself , why should she bother ? Summer hung up .

She tossed the book onto the nightstand and turned off the light , determined to sleep .

But her mind refused to cooperate .

She turned once .

Then again .

Then again .

Finally , she sat up with a jolt .

Idiot .

Absolute idiot .

She threw off the blanket , didnt even bother with slippers , and ran to the window .

Pulling the curtain back slightly , she peered outside .

The bright yellow Lamborghini was still parked out front like it owned the entire street .

The top was down .

The car was completely exposed to the cold night air .

Fraser was slouched in the drivers seat , dressed in something casual , his long legs stretched out in front of him .

Even from here , he looked infuriatingly effortless .

Wild .

Reckless .

She couldnt see his face clearly , but it looked like his eyes were closed .

The lines of his face were charn avon in the law light 2/1 It was almost winter .

The cold cut right through the trees , which stood bare along the street , branches trembling in the wind .

And this man this idiot had a fever , was sitting in an open car , and didnt even care ? She grabbed a knit cardigan , threw it on over her pajamas , and slipped on her shoes .

She opened her door as quietly as she could and tiptoed down the stairs .

Just as she reached the bottom- Summer , where are you going ? Julias voice came from behind her .

Summer turned to see her mom in the hallway with a glass of water in hand .

She forced a smile .

Im just going for a walk .

A walk ? Yeah .

The doctor said walkings good for the baby .

Julia pulled her cardigan tighter .

Walks are fine in warmer weather .

If you catch a cold in this kind of night air , itll do more harm than good .

She reached out to guide Summer back toward her room .

Summer turned to face her , a little flustered .

Mom , I … What is it ? Summer closed her eyes , took a deep breath , and blurted out , I need to go out .

You dont have to wait up .

Before Julia could stop her , she darted past and ran out the front door .
