It would have hurt less if Sage compared him to something on the bottom of her shoe. How could she think she hated him? Yes, he had been hard on her in the past, but that was because he was trying to fight his attraction for her. Well, if she wanted to hate him he would give her something to hate when she was alone in her bed tonight.

His face hardened. “I’m glad you hated me. I think it was the best thing you could have ever done. Why don’t you keep it going? At least it will keep you out of my face. And don’t read anything into what happened inside the kitchen. I was trying to prove a point that even with Julian less than a hundred feet away, I could still get you to want me and it worked. You will never be over me. I’ll always have a piece of your heart, so don’t deny it.”

Sage reached out to slap him, but he grabbed her wrist. “You bastard,” she hissed, jerking her arm away. “I can promise you that you won’t ever get a chance like that with me again. I don’t want to see you. I can see why you ended up with a woman like Vanity. Both of you are mean, heartless people who like hurting others. I swear, if you see me walking down the street please turn and go the other way.”

Rally flinched at his cruel behavior. What happened to the sweet, loving Sage he knew? Her face would light up any time he walked into the room, and now she was looking at him as if she really truly hated the sight of him.

This wasn’t what he came over here to do tonight. He wanted to plead his case with her and make her see he could be a good man and the only man for her. He had to fix things with her. She couldn’t run to Julian and cry on his shoulder. It might lead to things he couldn’t even think about.

“Sage…”

“Don’t even think about it,” she whispered. “Go away and don’t ever think about bothering me again. I’ll stay friends with Shawn, but I don’t want anything from you.” Reaching behind her, Sage opened the door and walked inside, then closed it in his face.

Rally touched the door with the palm of his hand, calling himself a thousand fools. “I’m sorry, Sage.” He wouldn’t let her toss what they had away like this. He knew she still cared about him. She wouldn’t have gotten this upset if she didn’t still love him.

Early tomorrow morning, he would make a trip into town and see her at Serenity and beg her, if he had to, to give him another chance. She might be a little resistant at first, but after he pleaded his case she would have to understand why he pushed her away all of these years.

“Sweetheart, I’m going to win you back,” he whispered, touching the door one last time before walking away.
