Excerpt
Hurt flashed across his face breaking my heart even further. I knew I needed to face this on my own. I was starting to second-guess if Blake and I could really be something, would I ever be able to love him like I loved Cole? Were we holding onto strings better left to fray? He said he loved me and I was pretty sure that I loved him, but in my jumbled thoughts I couldn’t think of anything except going home to Cole.
“I’ll call a cab.” I put on a brave face and pushed everything aside.
“I’ll take you. Let’s go.”
He said holding my bag in one hand and reaching for my hand with the other. I retracted knowing that touching him would falter my reserve. I followed him down the hallway and said a quick goodbye to his parents with Blake promising to explain when he got back. He told Joss to be there when he got back. Speeding the entire ride to the airport and parking in the drop off zone he walked inside without waiting for me to catch up with him. He went straight the ticket counter using his charms on the girl working. Pulling a credit card from his wallet he handed it to her while she waited for the ticket to print. I stood off to the side letting him do his thing. When he was finished he handed me the ticket with a look in his eyes that will probably haunt me for as long as I live.
