Chapter Eleven

I gasped for breath when my bedroom came back into focus. That last image of Colin—how did I not know? How had I not guessed? How could Mack not know? Ice hardened my veins, and I kicked the sweat-dampened sheets from my legs.

He knew. All of the subtleties, the things I thought he’d been trying to say—

I pushed myself to a seated position and ran my fingers through my hair. Every drift played back, and the pieces slowly fell into place. Mack had rescued me that night, Mack had taken me to Houston, Mack had married me.

Mack had killed James.

The room spun as if the world had tilted off axis, and the ice that had frozen my blood became brittle and cracked. Betrayal lanced my heart, and I screamed with frustration. How could he? How could he not tell me? I shot out of bed, pausing long enough to put a thick cable knit sweater over my camisole and pajama shorts.

“Hey,” Gracie said as she peeked into my room. “Are you okay?” Her hair, as black as mine was blonde, was in tangles around her shoulders.

“I didn’t mean to wake you.” I grabbed my boots and slipped them on, not bothering with socks or laces.

“Are you going somewhere?” She straightened and blinked to better focus on what I was doing.

“Nowhere far. Go back to sleep.” I slipped past her and stomped into the living room. I was on fire, and Mack was about to feel the heat.

Gracie followed close at my heels. “Listen, I wanted to tell you I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said what I did about James without knowing the whole story.”

So many things had happened that at first I had no idea what she was talking about. I turned with my hand on the door and looked at her with confusion.

“Xander came by earlier, mad as hell.” I could see the guilt on her face. “Seems that James called him and told him you’d found out about the assault charges.”

Now I remembered. “It doesn’t matter. James explained everything.” I unlocked the door, ready to confront Mack.

“I didn’t know about his mother—about the way she died,” Gracie said as I stepped outside.

I turned back to her and shook my head. “Can we talk about this later? I have something I need to take care of.”

“Where? It’s the middle of the night,” Gracie argued, but I wasn’t listening. I marched across the hall, hardly feeling the cold air that greeted me.

I balled my fist and pounded on Mack’s door. Anger simmered, and when he didn’t answer, I kicked my boot-clad foot into the base of the door.

“Mack, open up,” I yelled.

“Abby, what’re you doing?” Gracie asked from behind me, but her words barely registered under my bristling fury.

“Open the door, Mack,” I said, this time louder.

“You’re acting crazy. We have neighbors.” Gracie was at my side in an instant.

I grit my teeth and faced her. “Don’t ever call me crazy.” Her eyes widened. “You above all should know that.
