Chapter 15

Travis still hadn't come out of the bathroom by the time Lissa was ready to go. Her heart got tighter and tighter the longer she waited, until she felt like she couldn't breathe.

She realized she'd made a horrible mistake by sleeping with him. One night with him, and already the thought of him walking out of that bathroom and telling her that he wasn't coming back was crushing her.

How had she fallen so hard so fast? She knew he was leaving. She knew he had trust issues. For heaven's sake, she'd already fallen in love with one man who lived a life on the road. She knew that it didn't work. How on earth had she somehow gotten all twisted up with Travis already?

But she had.

It was too late to protect herself. Whether it was over now, or in a week, her heart was going to break when it ended. Would it be better to escape now, before it got worse? Or better to embrace it fully and make it the most it could be?

She stood in the living room, unsure whether to just walk out, or to tell him she was leaving.

She thought of the day she'd told Rand she was pregnant. He'd said he needed to think about it. She'd let him, and then he'd left. And now Travis was thinking about it.

Her fists tightened. She didn't want to be with a man who had to think about whether he wanted to be with her, even if it was for only a week. She deserved a man who would lunge for her, grab her hand, and tell her that he wanted every last second with her that he could have, no matter how crushing it would be to part.

That's what she deserved.

The fact that Travis was stewing in her room, trying to decide whether to grace her with his presence for the next week, told her all she needed to know. He wasn't worth wasting time on.

For so long, she'd been certain she didn't need a man. So certain that being a single parent was best. But after a night with Travis, she realized she'd been wrong. Yes, she didn't need a man. At all. But the right one could make the sun shine a little bit brighter with a little less effort. The right one could erase some of the shadows in her heart...which also gave him the power to create even more.

God, she didn't need any more shadows. She really didn't. Travis might have brought sunshine, but the way she felt right now was nothing but shadows, and she didn't need that, not from him, and not from anyone.

If she decided she wanted a man, it was going to be one that didn't hesitate for one second about whether she was worth spending time with. So there. She lifted her chin, and strode to the door that led downstairs. She grabbed the doorknob and paused, her head held high. Good-bye, Travis. She pulled the door open—

"Wait!"

She froze, her heart thundering like crazy.
