“Athena’s running late.”
Monti wrinkled her nose, though she pushed the perturbed feeling
down. She shouldn’t allow that to come up. She was here as a favor to her
sister, and to get a little extra cash for her bills, but that was it. And if she
was delayed five or even fifteen minutes, then she would live.
Hell, everyone would live.
“That’s okay.” Monti folded her hands behind her as she followed her
big sister through the halls of the house. She hadn’t been in a clinical setting
for therapy or massage in over a year, but Fallon had begged her to come
and help out her boss.
Apparently the woman was desperate for sleep.
From Fallon’s descriptions, Monti hadn’t realized how much of a prison
this house was. It was gorgeous, for sure, but the energy was what threw
Monti. It wasn’t warm or friendly. The curtains were all drawn in, the lights
were dimmed, and all of the doors were shut. People moved from one place
to another as they worked, which she remembered Fallon mentioning once.
Athena had an office in the city for her legal clients, but because those
were rare and a lot of her other work was done from home, she worked
from home most days. She remembered this if she dug down for the
information Fallon had fed her through the years. Monti rolled her
shoulders as she followed half a step behind her sister. She still couldn’t
figure out why she’d agreed to this job. She really didn’t need it, and she
didn’t want to mess anything up between Fallon and her boss.
“I really appreciate you giving this a shot. I know I strong-armed you
into it, but Athena’s tried everything.” Fallon seemed tense in a way Monti
hadn’t seen her in a long time. Not since—well, she didn’t want to think
about that.
“What do you mean everything?” The more information Monti had
going in, the better she might be able to help. She hadn’t stopped being a
therapist because of her lack of confidence. No, it was something else
entirely.
Fallon stopped short in the hall, locking her brown eyes on Monti’s. “I
mean everything. She’s been to all the doctors, all the naturopaths. She’s
tried CBD—that was a disaster. Not doing that again.”
Monti’s face pinched. It was the newest fad, that was for sure, but
depending on the person, it wasn’t a good fit. Still, Monti didn’t have the
reason that Athena wasn’t sleeping. Starting with the problem was usually
the easiest way to find the solution. Although getting sleep was a good
place to start.
“Like I said on the phone, I thought with all your training…”
“Yeah. Makes sense.” Monti shoved her hands in her pockets. “But I
haven’t done this in years. You’re lucky my licenses are even up-to-date.”
Fallon dropped her gaze to Monti’s hands, pointed, and shook her head.
“You can’t do that when you’re with her.”
A line formed in the center of her brow, but Monti pulled her hands
from her pockets and stretched her fingers out like someone had slapped the
tops with a ruler. “All right.”
