Rowena didn't know what Raphael would feel about her simply closing the door on his face, perhaps he'd get upset at her. She wished that he did—but she hoped that he got the message.
It was enough, he didn't need to stay any longer. There was nothing for him here. She had troubled him enough. She didn't want to keep piling up debt to a man she barely knew.
Rowena listened for the sound of footsteps, of Raphael leaving first—and didn't hear anything.
Her heart pounded loudly as the seconds passed.
"No, he wouldn't have dared stay there would he?" Rowena turned around, reached for the doorknob then quickly shook her head.
