EVER SINCE that no-good prick showed up yesterday at the party, Holly has been acting strange. She’s on edge and when she smiles, I can tell it’s forced. Last night, this morning, and during the several times we made love today, it seemed as if she were holding on for dear life. As if she were afraid to let go because if she did we’d drift away from each other. With every glance, her eyes were trying to tell me something she couldn’t. It’s almost as if she’s trying to say goodbye. But why? I tried to get her to tell me everything the bastard said to her, but she just says it was all empty apologies. “Nothing important,” she repeats. For the first time since I’ve met her, I don’t believe her. My gut is telling me our lives are about to change and it’s not a change for the good.

“What are you thinking about, handsome?” Holly says in a sleepy voice. Again, there’s that sad smile. I need her to tell me what’s wrong, but how?

“Just thinking about how beautiful my fiancé’ is,” I tell her with a forced smile of my own. She gets out of bed and quickly heads into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. When Holly finally exits the bathroom, she’s fully dressed. “Where are you going, doll face?” I inquire. I need to know what the hell is going on. The pit in my stomach is getting larger by the minute. She can’t or won’t — I don’t know which — make eye contact with me when she answers.

“Amber called. She needs me,” she says nervously. Bending down, she kisses me with so much passion, it leaves me weak. My heart is racing, not because of the kiss itself, but because of what I’m afraid it means. She runs her lips along my ear and softly whispers, “I love you more than anything, Paul Walters. Please don’t ever forget that.” When she stands up, I can see tears in her beautiful green eyes. Before I can stop her, she turns and bolts out of the bedroom. By the time I can get myself to move to try to stop her, she’s already getting in her car.

Running back to the bedroom, I fumble around, trying to get dressed. My clouded brain is making it difficult, but I have to go after her. I run into the bathroom to grab my pants and notice her phone on the counter. I know it’s an invasion of privacy, but this is an emergency. Looking through her recent texts, I see one from Ray. It came in around the time she came in here. With shaky hands, I swipe the screen and open the message.

Ray: It’s time. Meet me at the bar. Don’t take anything with you. Not even this phone. I will make sure you have everything you need when we get home.

“What the FUCK!” I scream as I throw the phone across the room and watch it break into pieces against the wall.
