Claire didn't know what she hoped to find here. Nicholas had insisted on staying at his mother's house while the rest of the bridal party had been put up at the bed-and-breakfast.

She'd sometimes teased him that he was so tight he squeaked when he walked. She'd chalked up his desire to stay at his mom's as part of that side of his personality.

Had he been having second thoughts before they'd even booked the wedding venue?

It looked as if he'd slept on the couch last night. There was a pillow and blanket folded neatly at the end of the faded plaid monstrosity. A black garment bag that housed his tuxedo was draped over the back of the couch, zipped and pristine. Seeing it sent a pang through Claire.

His duffel bag was open on the glass-topped coffee table. A glance inside revealed perfectly ordered stacks of clothing, his socks rolled neatly on top.

What exactly had she thought she'd find by coming here? Some written list of reasons he'd decided to dump her on the day of their wedding? Or maybe a hand-drawn map with a bullseye showing where she could find him? Or, better yet, a pros-and-cons list of whether he should marry her. Pro… she’s already planned the whole shindig. Con… I don’t love her and never have.

She shook off the thought. Sank onto the couch, exhausted. Her hands covered her face, and she wanted to weep all over again.

What was the point? Even if she found Nicholas, and even if he did have a good excuse—she couldn't imagine one that was remotely good enough—it didn't mean she could ever trust him again.

Someone who truly loved her wouldn't have left her at the altar with a note.

What did that say about her, that she hadn't noticed her fiancé was unhappy? She'd been busy with the wedding preparations for months, plus checking in on her father, boxing up her entire apartment, saying goodbyes at her old job.

Still, she should've noticed.

She exhaled loudly, dropping her hands from her face.

Several magazines were spread across the coffee table. One was a sports magazine, and on the cover... Jax. She couldn't escape from him if she tried.

She'd been studiously ignoring the billboards that seemed to appear everywhere she looked, his face plastered every few miles for the entire state to see.

Quinn had been kind enough not to bring up the fact that her ex was coming back to Texas. Claire had just wanted to ignore it.

But... What was this magazine doing here? Had it been a coincidence that it was on Mrs. Caine's table? Maybe it belonged to Wilder. Claire glanced to see if there was a subscription address label on it. There wasn't. Which meant someone had bought it at a newsstand.

Did it belong to Nicholas?

She didn't like the direction her thoughts were going.

If this magazine belonged to Nicholas, did that mean he'd been thinking about Jax? Worrying about how she felt about him?

When she and Nicholas had gotten serious, she'd told him about her dating history, including Jax.
