Chapter 6

SAM HELD OUT THE RING for Krissi and their two other coworkers to admire.

“You seriously got married,” Krissi said, for the fifth time that morning like she just didn’t believe it.

Sam nodded, beaming at Krissi.

“But you weren’t even dating anyone last time I checked?” Fellow counselor Margie looked understandably confused.

After all, this whole premise was a shit show. Going from zero to married in four days. Who was she trying to kid?

And why was she even attempting it?

Oh right. Because your dad’s safety and future are on the line. Don’t you forget that, Sam. Don’t you even forget for a second that this whole thing is a sham and Trent isn’t the guy you think he is.

“It happened fast,” Sam said, shrugging. “We’ve known each other for less than a month. But... we just thought it was right.” She laughed into her hand. “I know it sounds insane. Maybe this will come back to bite me in the ass. But for now...?”

“Well, you certainly are every part the lovebird,” Krissi said, sliding back into her chair at the reception desk. “I’ve never seen you this giggly.”

Sam leaned into the doorframe, checking out the opal beauty on her ring once more. She wanted to spill the story to Krissi... but at the same time, it wasn’t the time. Not when so many other things were in flux.

“Was it that guy who came in on Thursday?” Krissi asked as she typed her details into the log-in page on the computer.

“Yeah. It was.” Sam gnawed on her lip, the secrets of her past weekend bursting at the seams.

All the juicy details. The sex. Oh lord, the sex.

“So this is what you had to explain later, huh?” Krissi lifted a brow. “I can’t believe you kept it from me.”

Oh, honey. If you only knew what I was keeping from you.

“I didn’t want to keep it from you. Trust me. It’s just... been a wild ride.”

And maybe that was all she could say. A wild ride. Certainly, having Trent in her life, inside her home, had proven to be a wild ride in the less than a week that she’d known him. From threats to a proposition to mind-blowing sex to... what was this now? The opal ring caught her eye. Some sort of sham relationship that didn’t feel entirely fake.

No, what was happening between them felt a little too real.

It had really hit home yesterday. When she’d tried to reel it in by not asking questions. When Trent had ended up staying the entire Sunday, even when she could tell that maybe he was thinking better of it. When their fucking had hit an emotional speedbump on Sunday night, like they’d both realized that something slightly stronger than obligation was burbling beneath the surface.

Sam locked herself in her office that day when a couple of patients canceled. She opted to use the unexpected time to catch up on paperwork and just zone out. A chance not to think about Trent or Lucas or her father or.
