‘No, darlin’, you already did that.’

His eyes were blazing, but I was sick of all this shit now. I was fighting for what I wanted here. I was going to fight until every last breath had been wrung out of me.

‘Why, Eddie? Hmm? Why did I decide that fucking my ex-husband would be a good idea? Because we messed-up. You’re spinning me all this crap about stepping back from commitment when that’s exactly what you’re looking for, you’ve just said so yourself. But do you know what the ironic thing is here? I’m not. I’m really not. Or I wasn’t, anyway. I walked into this relationship not wanting to be tied down, I just wanted some fun, and I got that. In fucking spades. You were so good for me, Eddie. So good. And I don’t know when all that started going wrong, I don’t know when the early-morning bike rides and sex by the side of the road stopped being what we both wanted…’

‘There’s something going down at the club,’ he sighed, leaning back against the wall, pushing a hand through his hair.

I looked at him, frowning slightly. ‘Like what?’

‘You don’t need to know.’

‘Don’t I?’

He fixed me with a look that almost froze my blood. ‘You don’t need to know, Lana. That way you don’t become involved in shit you need to steer well clear of.’

My frown deepened. ‘You in some kind of danger?’

‘I got distracted, that’s all.’ He sighed again, his head turned away from me, his eyes fixed on nothing in particular. It was like he was just staring into dead space. ‘I got distracted, took my eye off the ball.’ He turned to face me, sliding a cigarette between his teeth and lighting up, taking a long, deep drag on it, blowing smoke upwards. ‘I let go of us, Lana.’

‘Jesus, Eddie…’

He took another drag on his cigarette, looking down as he flicked ash onto the dark wooden floor. ‘I need to move on.’

‘Without me?’
