“Ty, can you hear me?”

I recognize Miranda’s voice. The adrenaline begins to wake me and I shoot up from a lying position because I think I’m finally out of the nightmare. At first the room is blurry, but as I begin to focus I realize I’m very much still in the same predicament. I’m in one of the upstairs rooms in Colt’s parents’ mansion. The lights are out, but my vision allows me to see a figure. Miranda is sitting on the bed beside me crying. Her hands are covering her face. I reach over to touch her arm, but she shoves me away. “Don’t. Don’t touch me. I can’t even look at you.”

“What happened?” I’m asking because I have no clue how either of us got in this room. Not to mention, I’m not even sure what day or year it is.

“Don’t act like you don’t know. First you make my boyfriend think I’m cheating on him. Then you convince the whole family that you and I are supposedly fated to be together. Just so you know, I took a pregnancy test, Ty. I’m not pregnant like you claimed I would be. Uncle Mitch is still alive, and everyone is just fine and dandy here in Kentucky. You need to get your priorities straight.”

“I don’t understand any of this. Last I remember I was…” There’s no sense in fighting about it. She’s not going to believe me and I’ve lost more time. I’m so lost I don’t even know what to say to her. “I’m sorry if I hurt you, Miranda. I’m sorry if you think I’m crazy.”

“Well I’m just glad I’m not pregnant. That relationship was a train wreck. You probably did me the biggest favor that night last year.”

“Last year.” I repeat it while I think of all the months unaccounted for.

“I know you’re here for the holidays again, but I need you to stop calling me and pressing me about this. I’m trying to be civil with you because of the family, but you’re making it impossible. I’m here because I want to tell you once and for all that you and I are never going to be together. The constant phone calls, the emails, the more frequent visits to the ranch, it’s all too much. I feel like you’re obsessed with me, which makes no sense because we’ve been considered family our entire lives. I don’t know what brought this on. Ty, I care about you like a cousin, but nothing more.”

“So you’re not attracted to me?”

She stands and backs away from the bed. “What the hell? You don’t understand the word no.”

“Just answer me. If you saw me on the street as a stranger what would you think?”

I’m grasping at straws here. She’s pushing me away. She’s pleading for me to leave her alone. I’m losing her and I can’t stand it. Everything is changed but I don’t feel any different. She’s my soul mate and nothing is going to change that.

Her arms flap at her sides.
