Chapter Nine

Saturday night had finally come and Faith was on edge. After their conversation on the front porch, she and Cooper had only seen each other once. She had made lasagna for dinner on Thursday night and it had been way too much food for her, but instead of walking over some dinner for them to eat, she had just put it away in the fridge for leftovers. Plus, she hated the tension that had built up between the two of them.

If he were so upset about her going on a date with another man, why couldn’t he understand how she felt? Offering to cancel his date was not the same thing as never going in the first place. Then again, she couldn’t throw stones. Her date with John was still a barrier between them. Still not understanding why he was so intent to understand her reasons for going on a date, she was tempted to think he had been jealous.

A phone call to Arthur would be in order to let him know she would have to pass on his generous offer. She just hoped his fiancé would understand why she had to bail on them at such short notice.

Although she wasn’t a glutton for punishment, she couldn’t get Denise’s hateful words from their botched lunch almost four months ago out of her mind. Although a very sexual woman, she wasn’t foolish enough to think men did not see her as a sexual object. This wasn’t her first time at the rodeo and neither was she an innocent. It had taken her years to get to where she was, to a place where she was confident in the woman she portrayed to the world.

In one day, no—one hour—she had allowed a back-stabbing friend to set her back by years. She had never questioned her value before and she sure as shit wasn’t going to start now. But a fear of the future now held her in his grip. Now that she had found someone that not only
