Chapter 11

“Shit, I didn’t think the cop would ever leave,” Jimmy muttered as he stepped out of her closet and stretched his neck from side to side, as if he’d been in there quite a while. “It’s good to see you, Hannah.”

The smile that used to melt her heart just seemed smarmy now, and she took a step back as he tried to take her in his arms.

He frowned. “So, it’s like that, is it?”

She crossed her arms over her chest and lifted her chin a notch. “I have no idea why you’re here, Jimmy. We have nothing to say to each other.”

“You know,” he said as he took a step closer and reached up to trace the side of her face with his thumb, “I was really hoping we could skip the fight and get right to the make-up sex.”

“You know what they say…wish in one hand—”

“Shit in the other. Funny, babe. You can act pissed if it makes you feel better, but I heard you defending me to Sheriff Dumbshit. You want me.”

“Just because I don’t think you’re a rapist doesn’t mean I want anything to do with you.” She crossed her arms and added, “And Chase is anything but dumb. He…”

Jimmy took another step forward until they were practically knee to knee. “He…?”

Hannah cleared her throat and turned away from him. “He’ll be back any minute, so you should probably leave.”

She felt his hand on her shoulder, and it took everything she had not to pull out of his reach. Not that she feared him, but she knew from experience how hard it could be to get him to leave. Jimmy didn’t exactly take rejection well.

“I wanna know what’s up between you and the sheriff. You sleeping with him?”

She spun around to face him, somewhat surprised by his nerve. “That’s none of your damn business. We’ve been over for months, Jimmy.”

His smile faded. “We were taking a break. I always planned to come back for you.”

“Oh, please. I have no idea why you left, or why you decided to come back, but we both know it wasn’t for me. You’ve been in town for a while, and you just today got around to stopping by? Besides, I told you I—”

“How the hell do you know when I got back?”

“Are you serious? Shar’s my best friend. Did you really think she wouldn’t mention you’ve been hanging out with Dillon?”

“I forgot about that gossiping bitch.” He sat down on her bed, pulling her down beside him. “I swear, Hannah, I was just waiting until I’d scraped enough money together so we could finally get a place of our own. That’s what I’m here to tell you. I put down the first and last month’s rent on the old Keller farm out on highway nine.”

Stunned by his gall, Hannah could only gape. “Are you delusional? You actually think I would want anything to do with you after…everything, let alone move in with you? Besides, I know exactly how you ‘scraped enough money together,’ Jimmy.
