CASSIE

I really wasn’t looking forward to seeing the sheriff. I’d made up my mind to be done with his ornery brother and move on. It was obvious that he was still in love with the woman in the photograph whoever she is, and I have no place in his life.

It was all just a stupid little girl crush that’s all it was. Anyway I looked at it, he didn’t owe me anything, if anything I was the one who owed him. And if all he wanted was to be left alone, then maybe I should give him what he wants.

It was easier said than done though. The hurt he’d caused by his reaction had been deep and still lingered. It as well out of proportion for the situation as it was between us, but it was real nonetheless.

I felt betrayed, which is stupid. When did he ever betray me? But in my mind I was convinced that he knew I was attracted to him, if that’s what you can call this strange feeling that seems to constantly draw me to him.

And the fact that he had to know and yet treated me so shabbily said more than words ever could that he wasn’t interested. I was finally able to accept that he wasn’t feeling the same thing I was. That thing that I’d had no name for until I was driving away from him in tears.

The day before when he’d behaved so badly hadn’t hurt as much. Because this time he was hurting me for someone else and that pain cut like a sharp edged sword to the heart.

So, I’d told myself sometime during the night that I should cut my losses and go back to my life before him. Of course my mind had other ideas and each time I told myself that it was pointless, that feeling would assail me again and I’d be back where I started.

I had the added worry of trying to figure out just what this feeling was and if I could trust it. It wasn’t any of the things I’d told myself it was in the beginning. Nothing as flowery as a little crush.

From the way I ached at the thought of him being in love with someone else, I knew it was much more serious than that. Too bad it was too late, that nothing could ever come of it because he didn’t feel the same.

Not for me anyway. But he obviously felt something for the woman in the picture. That much was made blatantly obvious. But just as I’d made peace with my decision as hard as it was, the phone rang and it was his brother calling.
