TWENTY-FOUR

GRACE

Sunlight filters through the curtains as I wake. At first, I can’t even open my eyes because my head is pounding so hard. After my breakdown yesterday, I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and I slept all the way through the night.

I look around the room, flashbacks from the past twenty-four hours slowly trickling back in. The way I snapped, breaking Tanner’s things in a blind rage as he watched at a distance. The things I said. Did he think those words were for him?

Were they?

I’d like to say my anger was because of Cash. Maybe some of it was, but stepping into the lighthouse triggered memories that were so painful, I felt like I was brought right back to that day. It broke me all over again, and I allowed myself to feel it for the first time in years.

I sit up, stretching my sore muscles and head toward the bathroom. As soon as I walk through the door, I see several brand-new outfits sitting on the counter. I pick them up, one by one, seeing that they’re all my size. There’s a t-shirt with a pair of cotton shorts, a pink sundress, and a tank top with a pair of jeans. Everything has the tags still on it, except for one item.

I reach out, pick up the familiar gray hoodie and hold it out in front of me. The crimson Harvard Football logo stretches across the chest, and when I hug it to my body, his scent envelops me.

I loved Tanner Lake with my whole heart, and I don’t regret a single thing about falling for him that summer.

I put the hoodie back, undress and jump in the shower. By the time I’m done and dried off, I’m feeling a million times better than I did yesterday. I opt for the t-shirt and shorts, because I have no plans to leave here today. Eventually, I’ll need to sort through everything that happened with Cash, but I’m honestly still numb about that.

I’m almost embarrassed that I didn’t see the signs. My dad was always saying what a hard worker he was, so I didn’t think twice about the late nights and him always being exhausted. To begin with, our sex life was subpar, at best. So, I overlooked his disinterest, thinking maybe we were just going through a bit of a disconnect and that it would get better when we could spend more time together. But I never would’ve guessed his lack of desire to have sex with me was because he was getting it from someone else.

I make a mental note to get tested as soon as possible, because even though it’s been a long time since we were intimate, I want to be sure. Who
