CHAPTER TEN

Kate

WHEN HE WALKED out the door, I almost broke down in tears. I didn’t want to say goodbye to him and I didn’t want to have to pretend like he didn’t mean anything to me, but I had a decision to make and I chose myself. It was one thing to sacrifice for someone that I would have a future with. It was an entirely different thing to put my life on hold and risk everything for a man that told me that he would never give up who he was for me.

Those photos of me had freaked me out. I had known for months that Garrick was watching me and as scary as he was, it was nothing compared to the fear of knowing that someone that wanted something from him was watching me. I knew that I would have to be extra careful. With Garrick out looking for whoever this was, I wouldn’t have him to watch my back. As much as I trusted Hunter, he wasn’t Garrick.

I got back into my routine just as I had the last time he left. I was just as sad, but I forced myself to put on a happy face and pretend like my heart wasn’t breaking. How could it be anyway? I liked to think that I understood him, but that didn’t mean I really knew him.

The weeks passed and I didn’t hear anything from him, but I also didn’t feel in danger in any way. I saw Hunter around from time to time and he would call and check up on me, but that was the extent of it. Maybe he wasn’t really watching me that closely after all.

I was closing up the clinic for the night when Cole came jogging up to me. “Hey, Kate. How’s it going?”

“Good. I’m just done with work and I’m headed home.”

“I don’t suppose you want some company?”

“I take it Alex is having a girls night?”

He smiled sheepishly and nodded. “Yeah. She left me on my own for dinner. I was just about to head down to the Mexican restaurant when I thought I’d stop in and see if you wanted to grab something to eat.”

“Sure. I don’t feel like cooking anyway.”

While eating, I mentioned that my faucet was leaking and Cole insisted that he could fix it for me. He followed me home and went to the kitchen sink, inspecting the leak that had developed.

“I just need to grab some tools out of my truck. I’ll be right back.”

While he got his tools, I grabbed a quick shower. When I came back down, Cole was finishing up and putting his tools away.

“Wow, that was fast.”

“I told you it wasn’t a big deal.”

“So, what’s Alex been up to lately?”

“Not much. She likes to stay home and take care of the house. I don’t think she’s really ready for more.”

“It’s been years. Maybe it would be good for her to get out more.”

“I’m not pushing her. I know you’re a doctor, but you didn’t experience it the way I did.
