Chapter 13

AS soon as Tiffany could manage, she pulled Elaine aside. “My God, Elaine, this man is your boss, and Kirk hasn’t even been in to see him? Why?”

“Because he’s a stubborn jackass. I’ve tried, Tiffany, over and over, but he won’t budge. He won’t even let Dr. Wilder do a simple examination of his face.”

“What the hell is he thinking? The answer to his problem lands right in his lap, and he won’t take advantage of it.” She paused thoughtfully for a moment, and then said, with determination. “Leave it to me. I’ll get him there.”

“Good luck.”

Tiffany caught up with Kirk again and hung on his arm for the rest of the night. She could tell that Kirk was trying hard to fit in. At first he was shy, stilted, and wouldn’t seem to let himself relax, but as the evening went on, Tiffany managed to put him at ease. They laughed together while enjoying themselves, which put Tiffany on cloud nine.

When Quinn finally managed to get Tiffany alone, he grabbed her arm and pulled her aside. “I won’t have you flaunting Kirk in my face. I know what you’re doing, you little bitch. You’re playing up to the freak to make me jealous.”

“That’s a lie.”

“What is it, Tiffany? What in hell could you possibly see in that monster? It couldn’t be his good looks.”

“I see a tenderness you wouldn’t understand. I see kindness, sensitivity, compassion, and caring.”

He pulled her to him. “You forgot to mention this.” He immediately crushed her against him, his lips bruising hers.

Tiffany struggled, finally getting free, but too late. She glimpsed Kirk—watching her.

Quinn saw her gaze and followed it. When he saw Kirk he stepped forward, confronting him while straightening his clothes. “Kirk, you had to find out. It’s me she loves. She never cared for you. She was only taking pity on a poor pitiful creature she wanted to help.”

“You bastard!” Tiffany cried out to Quinn. “That’s a lie and you know it!” She turned to Kirk. “It’s not true, Kirk. Don’t listen.”

“I only want to know one thing,” Kirk rasped with whispered emotion. “Have you been in his bed?”

“No, Kirk, I’d never—”

“Kirk,” Quinn interjected over Tiffany’s denial. “Surely you’re not going to believe her. My God, after what you’ve just seen?”

Kirk slid his eyes back at her, pain filling them. He abruptly reached up, ripped the mask from his face and threw it at her feet, his scarred face exposed.

Tiffany stared down at the mask, tears pushing uncontrollably against her lids. When she looked up, it was just in time to see Kirk slink back into his darkness.

Tiffany immediately whirled to face Quinn. “You dirty, black-hearted son of a bitch. With your lies, you’ve probably damaged any relationship I might have had with Kirk. Why can’t you get it through your head that I wouldn’t have you if you were dipped in gold, and covered with diamonds? I’d sooner curl up with a snake.”

“My God, Tiffany, what is it about that ugly Frankenstein that fascinates you so?” Quinn waved toward the place where Kirk had been standing.
