Chapter Twelve

Quinn

My phone had been lit up nonstop for the past few hours. I’d ignored it, hadn’t listened to the messages or read any texts.

They’d finally stopped because my phone had died…along with my car.

I didn’t think I’d ever been this cold in my life.

Instead of going home, where Bull might try to talk to me, I’d driven around for so long that I’d run out of freaking gas. I’d parked at a rest area halfway between Rocktown and Springhaven, where no one would find me, and when I tried to leave, my car wouldn’t start. And now, not only had I been cheated on for the fifth time, I was going to die of hypothermia.

It wasn’t rational, the way I’d run off—I knew this in a distant kind of way—but every fear, every doubt I’d had about myself had felt like a weight dropping out of the sky and landing on my shoulders, so heavy the ground had collapsed beneath my feet.

I’d already been shaky after seeing that picture of Bevan and Tonya. Seeing Bull with Lynette had been more than I could handle in one night.

I kind of felt like I was being flayed alive as old wounds tore open one by one, each horrific betrayal and rejection playing over in my head in a loop.

You’re not good enough. You’ll never be good enough.

I’d only planned to sit there for a little while until I pulled it together, but then my thoughts had spiraled.

I’d sat too long without my jacket, and now my hands wouldn’t work. I didn’t think I could move. I’d have been crying if my tear ducts hadn’t been frozen.

Light hit the back window of my car, tires crunching on the gravel before skidding to a stop.

A door slammed. Heavy boots, someone in a hurry, kicked up stones that tinged off my hubcaps as they ran to the driver’s side of my car.

I squeezed my eyes shut because I knew who it was and I didn’t want him to see me like this.

The door was wrenched open and then Bull was there.

“What the fuck, Quinn—” His words stalled out as he got a look at me. “Sweets, Christ, you’re frozen.”

I tried to pull away, but the effort was futile as he tugged me out of my seat and into his arms.

“Where’s your coat?” he asked, pulling off his own and shoving my arms in the sleeves before zipping it up. “Fuck, Quinn, you could have died out here.”

I was lifted, carried to his truck that was still running. It was warm inside, and I curled into myself as he shut me in. I watched, detached, through the windshield as he grabbed my phone and keys and locked up my car then climbed in with me.

Without a word, he cranked up the heater and tore out of the rest area onto the road, heading back to Rocktown.

He kept sliding glances my way, but I kept my eyes trained out the front window.
