CHAPTER NINE

Cheyenne leaned her head against Scot’s shoulder as the

Land Rover bounced from side to side making her slightly sea-

sick. Once she was back on the solid streets of London, she’d

never complain about road construction again. Steph sat to her

left, glaring out the window.

“Clive?” She spat, her teeth chattering in her cold wet dress.

“Yep.” Scot responded, his dark eyes ominous by the dash-

board lights. “He told Phillip he’d ‘had you’ right before he got there. He said, ‘Sorry, didn’t know you were coming. Next time

I’ll wait and we can share.’ Phillip went mental and nearly got

himself arrested.”

“And it never occurred to you to mention any of this to

me?” Cheyenne snapped. Scot slowly turned to her. His eyes

shot to Steph, who didn’t even look in their direction.

“And say what? Trash talk Steph? I also didn’t want to be-

tray Phillip. He was completely devastated. Cheyenne, I figured

since you were there, and you hadn’t told me about her ‘back

stage hook up’ that it wasn’t’ something you felt like discuss-

ing.” Scot sounded rational and reasonable and a bit condescend-

ing, like when he told Liam he couldn’t have fudge for breakfast.

Cheyenne felt like she was being handled, and even though it all made sense, it rubbed her the wrong way.

“Phillip was coming to talk to you that night,” Cheyenne of-

fered, unsure how Steph would take the news. Steph turned to

her, obviously chewing over the information. They pulled into

the driveway, and Steph was out of the Rover before the driver

put the vehicle in park.

“Steph, wait!” Cheyenne called and made for the door. Scot

held her arm.

“Just leave her alone. Give her some time to think.”

“She’s had months by herself to think, Scot,” she shot back.

She scrambled out of the Rover and darting a building over,

climbed the stairs to Steph and Kara’s room. She tapped gently

on the door. Kara answered the door looking a bit freaked out

with Liam perched on her hip. She could see Steph rifling

through her suitcase.

“Kara, can you excuse us?” Cheyenne held out her arms for

Liam, never taking her eyes off of Steph. Kara left without a

word. Steph stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

As Steph pulled bobby pins from her upswept hair, Cheyenne

stepped in behind her and leaned against the door.

“Stephanie…we’ve been through a lot of shit together . A

lot. And you were there for me when I floundering. Jacking up my career and my private life, and you tried to help. Now I’m

trying to help you.”

“No one can help me.” Steph’s dark reply gave Cheyenne

the chills. She pulled Liam closer to her chest instinctively.

Steph had always had a detached air about her, but after the ba-

by, she’d been bleak and extremely depressed. Cheyenne and

Cedric had staged a private intervention, and though she’d re-

fused professional counseling (“who needs a shrink when I have

the two of you?”), she’d agreed to antidepressants.

“You need to talk to me. I’ll come back when you’re so-

ber.”

Steph scoffed. “That scene on the beach was pretty damn

sobering.”

“Then let’s talk.” Cheyenne gestured with her free hand.

Liam felt like dead weight against her, and she realized he’d fall-117
