Chapter Nine

OLLIE

I DIDN’T KNOW what it was exactly that made me decide to tell Reid the truth. It could’ve been the desperate plea for help that I heard in his voice, or the way his eyes looked up at me, so full of sadness and doubt. But the time for hiding the truth was over. I’d never wanted to lie to him, but here he was, trying to piece the puzzle of his life back together, and I’d be damned if I didn’t give him what he wanted. What he deserved.

Coming back into the living room, I took a seat on the couch closest to where Reid sat in the recliner and rested my arms on my knees. There was a good possibility he’d hate me when I’d finished saying my piece, but for once, I wasn’t thinking selfishly. The man I loved was suffering, and if there was something I could do to help him, then I was going to do it. It’s what I should’ve done in the first place.

Not wanting him to think I had anything else to hide once the truth was out, I looked him straight in the eye. “I’ve gone about this all wrong, Reid. I’ve confused you even more, and for that, I’m so very sorry. I hope you’ll forgive me.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I promised your mom I’d help you, be there for you as a friend, but Reid… I can’t do that anymore.”

“But I told you last night was a mistake, and I wasn’t thinking clearly. Why can’t you—” His words came to an abrupt stop, and his brow furrowed. “Wait, did you say you promised my mom you’d be friends with me?” When I didn’t answer, he said, “Ollie, you know my mom?”

“Yes.”

“How?”

“We met in the hospital after your accident.”

“You mean after my surgery.”

“No. I mean after your accident. While you were in a coma.”

“What? How?”

I steepled my hands on my knees and blew out a breath. “Because I’d snuck into your room to see you. To make sure you were okay. I shouldn’t have been in there at all, but I just…couldn’t help myself. Your family walked in before I could leave, and then…”

“Then what?” Reid asked, his voice shaking.

“Then you woke up.”

“Okay,” he said, staring down at the coffee table, and I could practically see his mind working to put together what I was telling him, but there was no way he’d be able to manage it. Not without all the pieces.

God, can I do this? Tell him the truth and risk losing even the promise of having him in my life at all?

But I didn’t have a choice. If I had any love or respect for Reid, then he deserved to have the answers. I only prayed he wouldn’t hate me or look at me in disgust once all was said and done.

“So you met her then, but that was months ago. I don’t get why you’d promise her you’d befriend me. Do you normally take on
