Chapter 14

I cannot believe I did this again!

For the second time in only a week, I found myself slipping away from the man I loved, leaving him in the lurch. For the second time in only a week, I found myself running away. The only difference was that this time, I didn’t go all the way to Peru. This time, I went somewhere a little closer to home. In fact, up until very recently, it actually was my home.

“Here we are, miss. Brooklyn.”

I looked up with a start before glancing out the window. Sure enough, we were back in my old neighborhood. Interestingly enough, while my life might have changed in every conceivable way since the last time I was on those streets, the streets themselves looked exactly the same. That, if nothing else, was oddly comforting.

“Thanks,” I said quickly, marveling at our quick arrival. “I really appreciate it.”

Truly, the man was a saint. Not only did he agree to drive out to the Hamptons at five in the morning to pick me up, but he also successfully battled his way into one of the most secure estates in the Western Hemisphere just to retrieve me. Then, he watched with strained patience as I climbed precariously out the second-story window, grabbed the vines of ivy trailing the walls, and shimmied my way down.

I had to raid Nick’s wallet before I left, so I gave the driver a large bill as a tip.

He looked at it for a moment and held it up to the light before eying me suspiciously in the rearview mirror. “You look really familiar. Do I know you from someplace?”

I wasn’t sure if he was joking or not. My face was plastered across so many newsstands that it was really impossible not to know me. Still, I quickly answered, “Nope,” then slid off the seat. “I just have one of those faces, I guess.”

The second I hit the sidewalk, I took a moment to get my bearings. My apartment had been rented out now, so I planned to stay with a friend for the night.

“Again, Abigail?”

My heart stopped cold, and I whirled around to see Nick standing on the sidewalk behind me, still dressed in the previous night’s crumpled clothes and staring down at me with a frustrated scowl on his face.

My mouth fell open, as I was momentarily stunned by the mere logistics. “How the hell did you get here so fast?” I finally asked. “I literally just left—”

“Exactly.” His beautiful eyes flashed pure malice as he took a step toward me. “Again, Abby. You left again.” This time, he didn’t even ask for a reason. Instead, he just stood there on the Brooklyn sidewalk in a $6,000 tuxedo, staring at me as all the light slowly left his eyes.

“I’m sorry,” I whispered, forcing myself not to cry. It’s time to cut this cord once and for all, no matter how much I want to hang on, I told myself. “Nick, this just isn’t going to work out.
