VINCENT ADAMS

Vincent watched until Maggie cut a sharp left and disappeared out of sight. He’d hoped she would turn around, run back into his arms, and say a lot more than what she left him with.

“She had fun.” Is she fucking for real?

What a way to make a man feel cheap. It was more than fun for him. Their encounter had changed his life, changed his mind. Vincent couldn’t articulate those changes. He could only say that he was different.

Sure, he’d placed the calls to make their trip to Aspen happen. Maggie was right that Reginald Champion was the point of contact. He ran the show from his office in New York. He’d given Vincent the “it’s too late” bit, but to change his fortune, Vincent promised Reginald two free commercial spots on Prime D TV and paid double the amount of the highest sponsorship for the End of March Powder.

To say that Maggie received preferential treatment would be an understatement. He never would’ve paid into the event for anyone else. However, Reginald said he couldn’t fly out on Monday to give him a tour of the site because a storm was rolling into Aspen. Vincent had asked Reginald if he had a contact already in Aspen. That’s how he got Darius’s number.

Vincent had to get Maggie to Aspen on Monday for two reasons. He’d thought Maggie had made plans to meet up with some guy later that night, and Robert had suddenly become interested in coming into the office to work after bumping into her at the polo match. Vincent knew Robert had designs on Maggie, and he couldn’t stomach the thought of another man making love to her.

When Vincent saw Maggie at the wedding, he’d thought he was hallucinating. He recalled her face often over the years. Every time one of his relationships went bust and he needed to figure out why, he reminded himself of the butterflies that had fluttered in his stomach the first time he laid eyes on her.

At the wedding, she’d looked just as miserable as she did twelve years ago. He figured Charlie had something to do with it. In high school, they used to walk down the hallways bickering like an old married couple. Vincent couldn’t quite get the gist of their arguments, but he did make out a few of the topics. Once they fought about him “sending mindless debutantes” to her classroom. Another time, Charlie didn’t back her up in an argument she had with her mother.

Vincent had often wished to be in Charlie’s shoes. The way she ripped into him was cute. It appeared as if Charlie enjoyed pushing her buttons. Plus, Vincent wanted to know everything about the rare bird that flew into town but she didn’t say much to anyone except Charlie and a couple of the teachers.

Vincent had watched her as much as he could. He had never been jealous of another human being until he found out she had a thing for Rob. Sabotaging the possibility of the two of them becoming a couple was instinctual.
