CHAPTER 18

GINNY

“I need to get my keys out,” I said as I dug through the small clutch I took with me. “How can I lose my keys in this silly purse? It’s not even the size of my phone. Well, I guess it’s bigger than my phone.” I was rambling, I rambled when I was nervous. Why was I nervous? I know this man better than I knew anyone.

“Ginny, Here I have mine.” He opened the door of the car and light filled the small area. “What are you going to do about Garth? This isn’t exactly forgivable behavior.” She placed her hand on my chest and shook her head.

“Can we go inside and talk about this?” He reached over and placed his hand on my back. “You can get into something more comfortable.” I watched his brow raise and his eyes danced like they used to when he was trying to seduce me. All the familiar feelings came flooding back and suddenly I needed to have my husbands touch. All the bad, all the sad times, and the frustrations left my mind

Closing the door, I flicked on the lights and looked around the hallway. We hadn’t spent much time here as a couple, but it was our home base, not to mention it was my childhood home. When my parents moved to the city to be closer to my brother, Boone bought it and gifted it to me on my birthday. He really could be the sweetest man at times. “It’s still early, and there’s a game on. Maybe we should watch it like old times,” he said as he walked to the living room and discarded his coat over the back of the sofa.

“Garth came to work at the clinic six years ago. He was seeing someone and then shortly after they broke up.” I paced the living room, mostly because sitting in this dress was a nightmare and I didn’t feel like having the boning in the dress stab me in the lungs anymore today. “If there was an event for the clinic or my specialty, Garth would accompany me. Not because there was anything going on, but because he was always invited, too. So we would go with one another.” I was very cognizant of not say together. It felt like a word that held more of a meaning than its actual definition. “I suppose it’s my fault for not realizing it before now that he wanted more. But other than these events and work, I never thought about him.” My nose began to tingle and I could feel tears well in my eyes. “You seriously aren’t going to cry, are you?” My brain chastised me, but my emotions were more powerful. I was exhausted from the evening, having Boone home changing everything I had planned for myself, and from the antics of Garth.

Boone was up and off the sofa, wrapping his arms around me tightly. “I believe you and you don’t have to give this guy another thought.
