Chapter 6

Chase looked over at Meaghan. The second she got in the car after her shift, she began to cry. He reached across the center console of the car and turned Meaghan toward him, a hand on her shoulder. Though she was silent, the wet tracks on her cheeks spoke volumes. He drove to the place in town that was becoming their favorite spot. He shifted the car into idle and turned the key. They were alone, on a hill overlooking the city below.

“What’s wrong?”

She sniffled, wiping the back of her hand under her nose. “Nothing.” A small, quiet voice, devoid of emotion. This was completely out of character for her, and now he was seriously concerned.

“Meaghan, you have to tell me. I can’t fix it if you won’t talk to me.”

“It’s nothing you can fix, Chase. Just take me home.”

“Is this because you asked them for a few days off?”

She didn’t answer.

“Okay, I’ll go myself,” his tone was frustrated and tinged with a bit of anger. He took a breath. A deep, mindful breath. He tried again, this time much calmer. “But before I do, let me talk to your boss. Maybe I can help.”

He paused. Lifting a lock of her hair stuck to her cheek, he tucked it behind her ear. “I want to help.”

She dropped her eyes and curled her shoulders, pulling away from him.

“Please Meg. Talk to me,” he begged.

“Take me home.”

“Okay.” He sighed. If she wasn’t going to talk, there was nothing he could do. Whatever had happened, it was going to stay a mystery. The drive back through the busy streets went incredibly slowly. They sat in uncomfortable silence. He stared straight ahead and she looked out the passenger window. Once or twice, He considered changing course and taking her back to the restaurant. He was sure that was the problem.

He stopped the car at the side of the busy highway and turned to her. “I don’t care if you have to quit that job, Meaghan. You’re coming with me to New York.”

“Please, Chase. Let’s just go home.”

He followed her request and drove toward their apartment. She didn’t say another word the rest of the way. When they pulled into their parking spot, she just sat there. He parked the car, got out, walked around to her side and opened the door. She didn’t get out.

“Meg? We’re home.”

“I know,” she whispered. She looked up at him. Her red-rimmed eyes were full of pain. It ached him that he couldn’t help her. He knelt at the side of the car. He hugged her and eased her off the seat. She leaned into him and he stood, cradling her against his chest. She began to cry again.

She calmed down briefly when another tenant passed by, and held herself together until they got inside their apartment unit. Chase locked the door. She stood there beside the door. He picked her up and carried her. He crossed the living room, taking her straight to bed, and pulled the covers over her.
