Chapter 14
My brotherâs words stay with me long after he leaves to catch his return flight to Boston. I wish they didnât, wish I could just block them out of my head, but I canât.
Itâs not that I think Miles is right. I donât.
I know Ethan. I love Ethan. He loves me.
He would never betray me.
Except ⦠except ⦠Iâve been wrong before. Really wrong. And where did it get me?
Raped and bruised and bleeding in a deserted parking lot.
Emotionally violated and devastated and broken in a soulless lawyerâs office.
Terrified and vulnerable and sad, so sad, in the twisted staircases and empty halls of my school.
I survived all of that because I told myself I would get out. Told myself I would make a new life far away from what had happened to me, where I would never have to think about it again. And I have. I have. Before Ethan and now with Ethan. Itâs a good life. Itâs a life Iâm proud of.
Itâs a life that a small part of me is still utterly terrified will be yanked away at any moment. And though I know itâs wrong to place my happiness in a manâs hands, thereâs a part of me that knows if I lose Ethan Iâll never be the same again. Iâm in too deep, totally addicted to the way he makes me feel, emotionally and physically.
Itâs a haunting thought, one that stays with me no matter how hard I try to banish it.
At three oâclock, Ethan texts me just to check in. Iâm not sure why, but I donât respond.
At three-thirty, he texts again.
I still donât respond.
At four forty-five. You ok?
I answer with a smiley face Iâm far from feeling.
Chloe?
I turn my phone off.
At six oâclock, a box is delivered to my apartment. It doesnât have a return address, but then, it doesnât need one. I open it right awayâof course, I doâIâve never been able to resist a present from Ethan, no matter how many emotions are rioting inside me.
Inside the box is a suitâblack with a thin silver pinstripeâthat somehow manages to be both kickass and intensely feminine all at the same time, thanks to the heavy silver accent buttons and the tiny bits of lace peeking out from the inside of the wrists and lapels and ankles.
Itâs Armani, of course, and the moment I lay eyes on it I know what itâs for. Itâs a replacement for my one and only designer suit, which I lost in the rain on the beach the other night when Ethan and I made love.
The suit is gorgeous, no doubt about it. Exactly what I needed. And yet as I think of his previous giftsâstrawberries and seashells and cinnamon teaâI canât help but be a little disappointed. I feel stupid and ungrateful, but I canât help it. I like the Ethan that gives me little just because gifts, little things that matter only because he was thinking of me, only because he knows me. The Ethan who understands that I can give gifts like that back to him, things that say Iâm thinking of him.
