CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Liam

I escape to the safety of my car, start the engine and pull out onto the quiet, almost deserted street.

I only drive far enough to get out of sight of the house before I pull over again, I’m shaking so hard, I can barely keep the wheel straight.

I just had to get myself out of there.

I pull on the handbrake and let my head fall forward against the steering wheel.

Lucia was borderline hysterical as I drove away.

She was screaming and yelling, calling me names and throwing accusations around like venom.

I deserved it though.

I’m everything she accused me of being and worse.

The hardest part about it all was that the entire time she cussed me out, I wasn’t thinking about the woman I should have felt guilty for betraying, I was thinking about the other one I’ve betrayed.

The one with dark hair and eyes, and a heart-stopping smile.

Perry.

I’ve fucked things up good and proper with her.

I can’t even begin to fathom the hurt I’ve caused her in the hours since I walked out of that classroom.

I know I should steer clear of her, but I can’t.

I have to see her.

I have to try.

I find myself releasing the handbrake and driving towards her flat, even though I know it’s a stupid fucking idea.

She’s not going to want to see me.

Why would she?

It’s almost dark out, and I’ve got missed calls from Linc I need to return, but honestly, that’s the least of my worries right now.

I’ve lied to every single person in my life this past month, but none I feel more guilty about than Perry.

She didn’t deserve to find out like that.

I never should have lied to her in the first place.

I should have known that it wasn’t going to end well… that she would find out eventually.

I must be operating on auto pilot, because it’s as though I blink and then I’m coming to a stop outside her place.

My mind flashes back to the first time I came here to pick her up for our trip to Rocky Hill.

The day that everything changed between us. For better or for worse, it changed. My whole life was altered that day, that moment, the very second her lips touched mine.

I can’t believe I’ve hurt her like this, because I know she’ll be hurt – there’s no way she couldn’t be.

She’s sweet, trusting and innocent in this whole mess.

She gave herself to me so willingly, and I took advantage of her. I’m undoubtably the one in the wrong here.

I kill the engine and sit in silence until I feel the cold creeping into my bones.

I can’t put this off any longer.

I undo my belt, open my door and climb out of my car.

If I’m going to do this, I need to do it now.

I blow out a deep breath, and I see the steam in the freezing evening air.

I’ve got no idea what I’m going to say to her when I reach that door, but I know I have to say something. I have to try and make her understand.
