Chapter Fifteen

Kennedy and I had a late lunch date the next day before she had to pick her kids up from her in-laws. We met up at the restaurant, shadowed by Brody. It seemed like now that I knew he was my bodyguard, he no longer was ordered by Lincoln to keep his distance.

“Did you know?” I asked Kennedy as we sat at our table. The restaurant was probably half-empty and we were the only ones in our section. Well, us and Brody. He sat at a table about twenty feet away silently observing everything in the restaurant.

“About him?” Kennedy pointed her finger at Brody.

I nodded.

“You didn’t?”

“No,” I said with controlled anger. “I didn’t.”

Kennedy’s eyebrows flew up. “Oh.”

“Yeah. Oh.”

“So have you talked to Lincoln since you found out?”

I shook my head. Brody and Lincoln had convinced campus security yesterday to let Brody go. Lincoln had tried to call me afterward, but I ignored his call and sent him a text saying it was probably better if we talked after I calmed down. Since then he hadn’t tried to contact me, although I was pretty sure he was in contact with Brody.

Kennedy leaned forward on the table. “Did you see they lost last night?”

I nodded. I hadn’t watched the game on TV. I had been too upset. But I did watch the highlights online and saw the final score. It was not a pretty game. Our boys had gotten massacred. Not only was the loss a big one, but it also killed their winning streak. I would have felt guilty for throwing off Lincoln’s game, but the sports analysts online were blaming the loss on the fact that the Hawks had several injured players including Deacon who had been cross-checked from behind, causing him to go head first into the boards.

“Rebecca said Deacon’s okay.” That was the important thing. More so than my anger toward Lincoln.

“Yeah, I talked to Lincoln last night.”

My eyebrows flew up. “You did?”

She nodded knowingly. “He’s pretty pissed at you.”

“Me? He’s the one that went behind my back. He didn’t tell me he hired a bodyguard to follow me!”

“Yeah, that’s an issue. But you went back on your promise to him—twice—putting yourself in danger. Which is the worse offense? He was just trying to protect you. Can you blame him?”

I gapped at her, speechless. In my fit of anger toward Lincoln, I had forgotten my own transgressions.

“Shit. How angry is he?”

“I think he’s more hurt than angry, although he is pretty upset.”

I fidgeted in my seat. This was going to be bad. Lincoln had never been mad at me before, at least not that I knew of.

“I didn’t mean to hurt him,” I said quietly.

“I know.” She shrugged. “But I just thought I’d give you a heads-up.”

I nervously traced the edge of the tablecloth. “Do you think I should text him?”

“Well, duh,” she said with a small laugh.

I smiled for the first time since Lincoln left yesterday and dug my phone out of my purse.

“I love you, and I miss you, and I’m sorry.
