Chapter 17

Nicolas glared at me as if I were a career grave robber stealing from random graves. This was my sister’s grave after all. “If I hadn’t, the groundskeepers would’ve, once they cleared everything out this week. I thought it’d be nice to take home and keep it with all her other stuff.”

I glanced down at it, knowing full well he could see it was half empty now. When our eyes met again, it was obvious he didn’t buy my story. I probably looked like the fat kid who ate all the cookies and vehemently denied it, even with a face full of crumbs.

Wiping the corner of my lips casually, I held my chin up. “It was a long walk. I didn’t have any breakfast, so I got hungry, okay? I can refill the candy.”

As annoyed as I knew he was, the pain of what seeing me did to him shone through his eyes despite his anger. “What are you doing out here anyway?” he asked.

Feeling stupid, I explained about wanting to see the old pier. “I was in town to visit my sister’s grave for her birthday, and I figured since I was here, it might be nice to visit the pier.”

His head tilted slightly. “You remember it?”

“No,” I said, feeling the pain slice through my heart. “I found an old painting of it and . . .”

I stopped, remembering the dream where he mentioned my being with his brother. Something told me that if he knew I was now keeping in touch with Nolan it would only make his resolve to stay away from me even stronger.

“Well, I guess I did have a sort of spark of a memory.”

“And you remembered how to get here?”

Well, shit.

“I wasn’t sure I would,” I said, once again amazed at how quick I was to come up with the lies. “I decided to take a drive today and see if it came to me, and it did. What are you doing here?”

I added that last question to change the subject from me to him. It was hard enough to calm my heart and the wild emotion I felt when my eyes roamed his tatted neck and hard body. But when he gazed at me that way whenever he slipped out of his annoyed glare, it made it infinitely harder.

“I thought I’d check the pier out too, but once I saw the mud, I realized that wasn’t happening.”

“Well,” I said, lifting my chin again, trying not to feel as stupid as his suggestive comment made me feel. “I was in a car, and it didn’t seem that bad. It just got worse and worse the farther I drove in.”

“So, I guess you finally got your license. I wasn’t sure you ever got past your anxiety of driving since my brothers said your friend was driving the day you showed up at my shop.” He shook his head as if that memory alone was bothersome. “You better get a tow truck out here fast
