Chapter 15

To her own shame, there was a teeny tiny piece of Jax that was excited and star-struck at the realization of who Cole was, but most of her was angry and hurt. They drove for a few more hours in mostly silence. When they did speak, it wasn't about Cam.

Jax had a reoccurring sequence of thoughts during the drive. She'd catch herself feeling excited at the possibility of dating a celebrity, then her logical self would take over and remember that if anyone else had put on a mask and lied to her like that she definitely wouldn't forgive him. It was just bizarre.

Kate brought it up one last time about 20 minutes before they rolled into town. "If it all turns out to be true, would you please promise me to at least think about it before you go ending things?"

"You wouldn't say that if you didn't know who he was."

Kate shrugged. "Yeah, you're right. But who he is happens to be a big freakin' deal, Jax."

"I've been thinking," Jax said.

Understatement of the century.

Her brain had been on overdrive since she picked up that magazine. "I think I'm gonna give him a chance to tell me," she said. "I'll make plans to see him. If he shows up with that rug on his face that'll be a sign that it's meant to be that I don't see him anymore."

"You have to at least give him a chance to tell the truth," Kate said—ever the advocate for Cam.

"Well if I ask him if he's wearing a fake beard then he'll know I know the truth and he'll be honest. I'm going to have to rely on him showing up and telling me the truth without asking."

Kate wore a worried expression like she feared all might not end well. "I think you should at least talk to him for a little bit. Give him a chance to tell you."

"I don't think I'd be able to. I couldn't sit there and let him wear that in front of me and pretend like I didn't know."

Kate sighed. "I hope he tells you the truth," she said, wistfully.

"I do too."

The sisters were quiet for a few minutes before Jax spoke again. "Are you spending the night in Nashville or are Mom and Dad coming to get you?"

"Mom and Dad are coming. They're probably already there. I think we're all supposed to eat dinner."

"I hope we're not going out," Jax said. "I really don't feel like sitting in a restaurant."

"We'll let Mom and Dad go out with the Gregorys and tell them to bring us takeout. We can hang in your apartment. I need a shower, and I want to call Jeremy."

Jax smiled at her little sister—thankful she was thinking rationally enough to come up with a plan.

Their parents were indeed at the house when they got there. Jax told everyone that she and Kate were road weary and they wanted to stay at home. Thankfully, they went for it with almost no questions asked.
