Chapter 20

Emme

“Will you do me a favor?”

I was currently looking up at Zane as I had my head resting in his lap while we sat on the couch in his great room. I loved this couch; it held good memories for me. Zane and I had just finished dinner. With the events from this morning, he refused to allow me to cook so we ordered in. I didn’t have much of an appetite, but he insisted I eat something. The way he took care of me today when I was ready to just walk out on him had me realizing that I needed to make sure my life and all of its problems didn’t affect his to the point I knew it already was.

“Anything, Emme. What do you need?” he asked.

“I want you to make me a promise that you are going to continue training for the US Open,” I said.

“Please don’t ask me to make that promise, Em.”

“I’m serious, Zane. I want you to train. I want you to compete at the US Open and I want to go with you so that I can watch you win.”

His face warmed and he gave me a small smile as he looked down at me.

“Sweetheart, I’ll give you anything you want, but I want to make sure my focus is on you and your safety. That’s my number one priority.”

“And I really appreciate that, I do. But today you called your brothers to my place so that they could handle this. There is a reason you did that. You trust them to get the job done and because I trust you, I believe that they will do what they need to just to make sure that I’m safe. I hope you know that I always want to be where you are, but I’m not ok with you giving up something so important to you. Who won the Open last year for the men’s half pipe?”

“I did.”

“So, you have a title to defend and I want you to do that. You’ve worked hard and deserve to be able to see the fruits of that labor. It’s important and it matters.”

“Emme…fuck, sweetheart, none of that shit matters. You do. You. Matter. Swear to God, Em, all of it — I’d give all of it up because everything I have means nothing without you.”

“You had this all before I came along, Zane. And you’ve worked hard for it. Of course it means something.”

“Wrong, Emme. It meant something before I knew you existed. Now, it means nothing because you exist in this world. And if something happens to you because I’m not around to make sure you are safe, I’m left with nothing.”

I let out a sigh. I was not going to be ok with all of this if he gave up his passion.

“Zane, please listen to me. Today, before leaving my place, Cruz said that you should focus on taking care of me and that he and Levi would focus on making sure I was safe.
