Chapter 33

The cloud of dust she kicked up in her racing off was fading fast. I sped up but I still couldn’t see her tail-lights. She couldn’t have been more than a few minutes ahead of me.

When I got to town, her house was the first place I looked. Relief overtook my worry when I saw her car in the driveway. I parked on the side of the street and ran to her front door. I knocked and waited… knocked again. After my third attempt, I turned to walk away. Maybe she needs a little time.

On the bottom step, my body froze when I spotted her. She was sitting in her car, her head resting on the steering wheel, her shoulders shaking as she cried.

I walked to the vehicle and wrenched the door open. She startled and looked up at me in shock. “W-why… w-what...”

I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the vehicle, slammed its door and pushed her up against its side. “Because, you didn’t hear me out. Instead, you went off on one of your tangents and ran off,” I said. “You don’t get to run off, Nica, not this time.” She bowed her head. A fresh wave of tears rimmed her eyes. “Look at me!” She met my gaze. My hands wrapped around the sides of her face while my thumbs tried their best at wiping her damp cheeks. “Let’s try this again, shall we?” My lips were pinched but she nodded. I sighed my relief. “You still love me?” A flash of pain flew through her eyes but she didn’t answer. “Danica, do you still love me?”

She took in a shaky breath before she answered. “Very much.”

“How much?”

“Enough that I would do anything to make you happy, Jacob,” she whispered. “Even…”

“Anything?”

“Yes, anything.”

“Good,” I said. “Now, listen to me carefully.” She bit her lip. “You want to know what makes me happy?” I didn’t wait for her answer. “You, Danica, it’s you.” Her breath whooshed out, fanning over my face. “You infuriate me, you confuse me, you make me crazy. I was floored with your news about Jordan which, I have to say, has me both excited and scared shitless right now. As much as you’ve fucked me up with your leaving, it took one night to make me realize that I can’t live without you.” Her body went limp with sobs and I clutched her to my chest, burying my face in her hair. “I can be myself around you and know you’ll call me out on my shit when it matters most. It’s impossible to hate you, sweetheart. I should know, I spent fifteen years trying and I thought I succeeded until you waltzed back into my life. I think people would call me crazy but they don’t know you like I do.”

I moved back and took her face in my hands again. “You’ve changed. I’ve changed. But something didn’t and right now, it’s worth everything to me. I’ve tried to move on too, Nica, tried to forget.
