I feel the blood drain from my face.

Suddenly, it's as though I've been transplanted to a barren wasteland with no sunlight, no sustenance. An icy wave of fear washes over me, threatening to pull me under.

Memories of Theo, of his jealousy, his rage, rush to the forefront of my mind. Like the time the nice barista at the local coffee shop innocently complimented my earrings. Theo perceived the harmless interaction as flirting and reacted with a brute force that left the poor guy beaten senseless in a back alley and me nursing a black eye and a bruised rib.

If Theo shows up here in Mystic Hollow, he’ll not only hurt me, he’ll hurt any man who is near me. Waylon.

A pang of fear-laced guilt tugs at my heart. I can't let that happen to Waylon. He doesn't deserve to be hurt. He doesn't deserve to be caught up in my nightmare.

I touch my lips again.

Waylon... My heart clenches at the thought of that warm, friendly smile turning into a grimace of pain. I can't let that happen. I won't. The mere thought is unbearable.

There's no doubt in my mind that Waylon can easily replace me with one of the other women. At the very thought of him eating breakfast with someone else, my chest tightens and something that feels dangerously close to jealousy rolls over me, but I quickly push it aside.

It's for the best.

With a heavy sigh, I put down my phone. My brief moment of joy is gone. Replacing it is a knot of fear that lodges itself firmly in my gut.

And, just like that, my past smothers the spark of hope that Waylon's kiss had ignited.
