Chapter Sixteen

Lincoln

Even in the parking lot, I’m still shaking. I didn’t expect everything to go south so quickly. Didn’t expect to almost exchange blows with my best friend. Former best friend? God, I don’t know anymore. I pull Chloe that much closer to me, knowing that she has to be just as upset.

We knew it was going to be bad, we just had no idea it was going to be that bad.

I help her into the car before getting into the driver’s seat. Silence has settled between us. Neither of us knows what to say, I’m just glad that she’s here. Just her being here offers me comfort.

Before I start the car, I reach over and find her hand. I lace our fingers together without another word. She looks over at me and offers a small smile. For a second, everything starts to melt away.

I start the car and pull out of the parking lot. Instead of going straight back to Chloe’s place, I drive us to the nearest gas station. We go inside and like I said before everything happened, we buy every bag of those peach gummies she adores and a variety of other junk food. We both need it tonight.

An hour later we’re back at Chloe’s apartment. I follow her inside and watch as she falls back on the couch. We haven’t spoken, other than quiet questions as we bought snacks. I don’t know if this is something she even wants to talk about.

I toss the bags of snacks on the coffee table before I kick off my shoes and fall back on the couch next to her.

“Some night,” I mutter, deciding to break the silence.

I still haven’t told Chloe about my contract offer with the Knights. I figured with everything involving Nathan on the horizon, it wasn’t a good time to bring it up. But as I sit next to her, I feel guilty. I feel like I should’ve brought it up the day it happened. Now I feel like I’m just hiding it from her.

It’s not as if my mind is made up. I don’t want to leave her or our child, but it’s the best choice for my career. God, I don’t know what to do.

Instead, I reach out and wrap an arm around her. I pull her toward me, letting her lay her head on my shoulder. We kind of melt into each other and it’s beautiful. The most relaxed that I’ve felt all day.

“Was definitely a night,” she murmurs, closing her eyes as we sit together.

“How are you feeling?”

“Stressed. Anxious. Upset. Trying to figure out exactly how I can fix what feels broken. Really hoping that Nathan sticks to his word and doesn’t tell my parents. I don’t think I can handle that right now.”

If she can’t handle that right now, I don’t think I can just toss my career problem at her. It feels like that would be too much. I just squeeze her.

“Nathan’ll come around, you know how he is. He just needs some time.
