Chapter 15

The grating buzz of the alarm clock jarred Abby out of her fitful sleep. She whacked the irritating device several times until the horrible noise stopped, then she buried her head under the covers.

She wanted to stay in bed forever.

Last night, ugh , last night. It was too humiliating to even think about. But unfortunately, she couldn’t seem to concentrate on anything else.

She had done it again. And, worst of all, this time she was sober. She threw herself at Chase. He had to be thinking she was the world’s flakiest tramp. Both times, he had handled it with great composure. Of course, he was probably used to crazy women propositioning him.

The worst part of the scenario was that he thought she was just using him to make herself feel better about Nelson’s rejection. That wasn’t the case at all. She wanted to be with Chase.

During the endless hours of the night, she had come to the realization that she just didn’t have the feelings for Nelson that she should have. She was trying to resuscitate a relationship that had been dead for a long, long time.

She planned to phone Nelson and tell him they should end things. She didn’t think he would be either surprised or upset. In fact, she suspected Nelson felt the same way.

But there was only one way to find out.

She rose and headed downstairs. In the living room, she paused and listened. She didn’t want Ellie to hear this conversation. The house was quiet.

Abby sat on the couch and dialed Nelson’s number. To her surprise, he answered on the first ring.

“Abby, you just caught me on the way out the door.”

“Sorry, but we need to talk.”

He sighed. “Abigail, if this is about me not coming up there, well, it’s simply impossible.”

“No, it’s not. Well, it is, but...” How did she say this? “Think it’s time for us to call it quits.”

There was a pause.

“It isn’t working, is it?”

Abby was shocked by his candidness. “No, Nelson, it isn’t.”

There was another pause.

“Are you okay?” Abby asked.

“Yes,” he said. “It’s not a total shock. I suspected when you decided to go to Maine that we were headed in this direction.”

“I didn’t.”

“Listen, Abigail, I have to go.”
