Justice

My brain is aching, and my eyes are burning. I didn’t sleep at all last night. What I did do to try and control my hurt and fury is something I never do. I drank, and now I’m the idiot paying the price.

Hangovers are why I limit myself to a few glasses of wine when I feel the urge to have something. Which is rare. But this time I felt I had the right to be livid. I took it out on my body by indulging in two bottles and a couple of shots of my dad’s whiskey he left behind.

I rub my temples and close down my laptop. It’s noon, and my work is done for the day. I’m thankful there isn’t much need for me to be in the office now that we are starting the season. It’s not like I won’t go in; I simply didn’t feel like it today.

I’m so damn angry and hurt that hangover or not, I would have torn into Sage or anyone else who crossed my path if I had left my house, and I’ve learned the hard way to keep my personal life away from work. Although, my work is entirely different from my family’s; there aren’t guns going off or punches being thrown to throw a person’s mind off guard. The point being, when you walk out the door in the morning, you leave your personal life behind. Better yet, don’t mix business with pleasure, and that’s what Liam did.

I can’t believe he had the nerve to ask me if I would do such a thing as sleep with Carson. I’m confused and hurt. We never even settled it, and it’s all driving me mad.

We’ve never talked about trust, and that right there is the biggest issue standing in our way.

That, plus I think we were both too caught up in connecting with each other when we should have addressed him not trusting me. Trusts are broken, and deceit leaves a long-lasting bitter taste in a person’s mouth. I get it. I do. But for him to accuse me of sleeping with the one person I know would hurt him stings badly.

I consider myself a good judge of character, and Carson Harrington has none. He’s been fined more times than I can count for taunting the fans after scoring a touchdown. He was arrested several years ago during the offseason for blackening his ex-wife’s eye. Douche was caught on camera and couldn’t fall back on any excuses or high-dollar attorneys. I’m well aware of the man and the things he can do. Not to mention the dirty play he pulled on Liam. The scumbag gives me the creeps.

“Hey.” I look up from the spot on the floor holding my attention. My hands automatically rub up and down my thighs. Liam is standing in my doorway. He looks worse than I feel. Needless to say, the sight of him has my heart chirping.

“Hi,” I mutter, my anger slowly fading, and my hangover is barely clinging on now that he’s here.
