Chapter 12

Elaine had only felt like this once before. Her chest was as tight as an over-stretched elastic band. Her pulse throbbed so loudly she could hear it in her ears. Maybe it was the running, the way she’d cut toward the ocean and then tumbled down the steep dunes that had her body ready to burst. More likely though it was the fact that everything she’d been hiding from had found her. She had no idea how public her humiliation had become, but in this day in age, she should have known. Nothing received more attention on the internet than someone else’s misery.

Originally her plan was to make it back to her car. Davis had filled it with gas, and she could just hit the road and not look back. That’s what she’d done when she left New York a couple weeks ago, and it had turned out just fine. There would be another town in another state, and she’d stay there for a while. At least this time she had a little cash in her pocket.

There was only one problem with retrieving her car though. Davis would beat her back there. He’d be standing there, arms folded across his chest, looking for answers she didn’t want to give. It was hard enough to believe strangers had seen what had happened. Once Davis knew, he’d never look at her the same way. Those slow mornings at the café would be over. The late nights talking under the stars would vanish. She certainly hadn’t been able to look at herself the same since it had happened, so Davis couldn’t be blamed for that.

Instead of taking a chance on bumping into Davis, she’d walk the shoreline south. Once she was out of Indigo Bay, she’d hitchhike. When she got where she was going she would have someone send her purse and credit cards. It was crazy what she’d been doing here. Living without touching her savings just because she didn’t want anyone to know where she was. They’d know now. That picture of her at Caroline’s, tears in her eyes and shame on her face, was going to be plastered all over the internet soon. This thing she was doing in Indigo Bay, this pretend life, was silly. She would close out the lease on her apartment, hire a company to move everything out, and she’d have her doorman ship her purse and all its contents to her new location. The savings she stashed away would be more than enough to sustain her. She could still live this life far from New York, but she’d need to get her affairs in order. Davis had made it too easy for her to live in limbo. To pretend. She could still pull this off, she’d just have to do it without the one thing that seemed to make it all worthwhile. Davis.

As she lifted her hand to her hair, which was being blown in all directions by the ocean air, she caught a waft of his scent on her fingers.
