Chapter Fifteen

CARSON WAS SPRAWLED out on Eva’s couch when Zack walked in from his post game night out. The boy didn’t look like a kid who’d won a game and partied with his friends. He looked like a kid who’d been dragged through hell and back.

In fact, he didn’t even seem aware of Carson’s presence until Carson laid an arm along the back of the couch and swung into a sitting position. “You look like you lost. But I was there. And I know you won.”

Zack dropped down to slouch in the big chair facing the couch. “Where’s Mom?”

“She took the Jeep to Blooms. I was dropping her off after the game when she got a call. That shipment she’d needed to check on today never made it.”

“Texas Turf? Huh. Wonder what happened.”

“Delivery truck broke an axle or something. Anyway, I told her to take the Jeep and go.”

The corner of Zack’s mouth quirked upward. “I’m surprised she trusted you to hang out here. You know. By yourself. Considering how she’s always trying to get rid of you.”

Carson chuckled. “So you’ve noticed.”

“You kidding?” Zack arched a brow beneath the baseball cap he wore in reverse. “What’s up with you two, anyway?”

Hmm. Elbows braced on knees, hands laced together, Carson stared at the toe of his cast. How was he supposed to talk to Zack about his mother? She’d never talked to him about her time in New York. Which meant she didn’t want him to know about her affair with Carson.

But that didn’t mean Carson had to remain silent about his part of their past.

He’d probably get his head bit off for this but... He looked up at Zack and put into words what he’d needed to put into words for a very long time. “I was in love with your mom once. Years ago.”

“For real?” Zack straightened in his chair. “What, when she was modeling?” He frowned, thinking. “She was, like, a teenager then, right?”

“Right.” Teens in love. Carson was going to have to tread lightly here. He’d seen Zack with Katie. “She was seventeen when we first began working together.”

“How old were you?”

“Twenty. But barely.”

“Huh.” Zack slumped back again. “Did y’all, like, date and stuff?”

Did the things they’d done together count as dates? Or as... stuff? “We worked a lot of hours. And your mom couldn’t exactly go out on regular dates.”

“I guess she was pretty famous.”

Carson nodded. “Think Giselle Bündchen. Or Heidi Klum. But your mom was also under the constraints of her age. For a while... anyway.”

“Until she turned eighteen?”

Carson remembered Eva turning eighteen. Remembered as well the gift she’d given him on her birthday. All he could do was nod in answer to Zack’s query.

Why had he thought talking about his past with Eva would be simple? Or casual? When nothing about their relationship had been either? When their two years together had been so complicated he hadn’t known how much of it was real, how much imagined, or if any of it would mean
