CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Tara didn’t know why she took so much care with her appearance after her workout and shower. She took extra long blow-drying her hair, though there wasn’t much that could be done with it.

She hated her hair. It wasn’t curly, but it wasn’t straight. It had a mind of its own, and did whatever it wanted to do no matter how much hair product she put in it or how many times she tried to flatiron it.

Tara looked at her reflection in the mirror and sighed. She’d parted her hair to the side where the waves of her light brown hair fell down the side of her face. It didn’t look too bad, though how long it would look this good was anyone’s guess.

She’d even applied a little extra makeup. She normally didn’t wear much, but this time she added eye shadow and a hint of color to her cheeks. And before she’d changed her mind, she had applied mascara.

“Why?” she asked her reflection. “Why are you doing this? To attract Ramsey?”

Tara shook her head. “No. I’m doing this to prove to the others I can actually look decent. They’ve only seen me damp from the snow and sleep deprived with my hair sticking out everywhere.”

She wanted to look good, and there was nothing wrong with that.

“And I’m not doing this to impress Ramsey,” she told herself for the tenth time.

She just wasn’t sure how true that was.

Tara ran her hand down her hot-pink form-fitting sweater to her black jeans. When she was on the move as much as she was, there wasn’t a lot of room for too many clothes. She had mostly jeans with one pair of khaki cargoes. And a few tops.

Not a lot, but it had never mattered to her before. Then again, she’d never known a time when she wouldn’t have to leave at a moment’s notice, unlike here at MacLeod Castle.

She’d been given the chamber and asked if she needed anything. Tara had said no, but it had been stocked with hair products and a blow-dryer.

Tara leaned her hands on the sink and looked into her eyes. “I could get used to this. All of this.”

But did she dare?

If there was one thing she’d learned while being on the run it was to never let her guard down. Declan had found her. He had to know she was with the MacLeods now. It was only a matter of time before he came for her.

Tara pushed away from the mirror and reached for the small diamond studs her grandmother had passed down to her on her sixteenth birthday.

After a glance at the clock showing her it was well past six in the evening, Tara decided she’d stayed in her chamber as long as she could.

As soon as she opened the door she smelled the delicious aroma of food. Her stomach rumbled loudly, and Tara wasted no more time walking to the great hall.

No one noticed her as she descended the stairs. The hall was chaotic, but in a good way.
