Chapter 12

Rose

By the time I pushed the front door open upon returning to my home, my lungs were burning. My throat was sore, and I was choking back sobs until I could finally reach the privacy and seclusion of being in my own house. I didn’t want to expel the violent tears that threatened to ravage through me until I knew I was behind closed doors and no one could witness my breakdown. I had run the entire way, never slowing my stride even for a second.

My dogs, Amber and Jasmine ,welcomed me home with enthusiastic wags of their tails and joyous smiles. Their tongues stuck out as they panted with excitement. I patted their heads and allowed a few tears to escape and spill over my cheeks.

“Hi, girls,” I squeaked, crouching down on bended knee to be on their visual and physical level. I gave them both maternal and loving squeezes, pressing my cheeks to the soft tufts of fur on their bodies. “I love you both so much,” I sobbed, finally caving in to my sorrow and grief from the events that had unfolded back at the party.

I collapsed on the couch, too mentally and physically exhausted to move another muscle, at least for a few minutes. My dogs sagged their heads on my lap, resting beside me while they stared up at me with curious, droopy eyes and somber expressions.

“It’s okay, really.” I sniffed, unable to muster a smile for them.

I tucked my legs under myself and grabbed a throw blanket from edge of the couch, draping it over myself and my dogs. I was fully prepared to stuff myself silly with ice cream, binge-eating my feelings until I felt oddly gross and comforted at the same time.

I would just sit here and cuddle my dogs until I had no choice but to move, either to the bathroom or to work. Perhaps I’d even do something wild and crazy like call in sick. I wanted to stay in my sweat pants and try to forget the nightmare of the scanner registering another woman as Darbnix’s match.

It wasn’t going to be an effortless or painless task. The challenge would undoubtedly take its toll on me, but I was normally resilient and floated through life with a tenacious attitude.

I would have no choice but to pick myself back up, dust the dirt off my knees, and press forward. Life would eventually go on. Would I find true love elsewhere? Maybe. It was possible, but I didn’t have a crystal ball to view my future.

My eyes wilted, and my shoulders shook with silent, heavy sobs. My eyes were swollen and raw. I brushed the tears off my cheeks and inhaled a deep breath. I was better than caving to this debilitating sadness.

The biggest setback? Every time I squeezed my eyes shut, I saw the intensely erotic and handsome stare of Darbnix blazing through me. His hands were grazing across my skin. I sighed into his chest, drawing in a deep breath of his masculinity and safety.
