Chapter Eleven

Tegan cupped her hand and squeezed the conditioner out of the bottle. She lathered up and closed her eyes, letting her fingers massage her scalp. The shower was so tiny she couldn’t open her arms fully, but it didn’t matter.

It would do.

Once completely clean, she got out and swore to herself. She had left her towel on her bed. She opened the door a crack and spotted Fiona watching the TV screen with her back to her. “Babe, can you—”

“Oh, shit,” Fiona said, frantically pointing the remote at the screen and flicking the channel over.

“No. Change it back,” Tegan said.

Fiona groaned but did as she asked, turning it back to the news. “Repeating today’s top story. Well, is he insane or just a crazed misogynist? Inside the Cage or out of it? It seems one MMA fighter doesn’t know the difference. Owen Gasnier was filmed in a violent rampage this afternoon. Our crew spotted him leaving the Women’s Hospital and confronted him, concerning the sexual misconduct allegations recently levelled against him and his reasons for being at the hospital. He flew into a rage, threatening and assaulting them. No charges have been laid, and it is understood the Australian fighter is free to leave the country. Sources report he’s expected to head back to America where he currently lives.”

Tegan held her hands up to her face, moving out of the bathroom, no longer caring that she was naked. She saw the footage. She heard the question asked just before he snapped. “Oh, God, no.”

Her instinct kicked in. She immediately reached for her phone, which sat on her bedside table charging. She had to call him. Talk to him. See if he was OK. Tell him she loved… but, as Fiona wrapped a towel around her, reality set in. She sat facing outward on the bed, the screen now off.

As hard as it was to accept, Tegan was the reason he was falling apart. Their time together. Hell, if she doubted herself and her last words to him, here was the proof in plain colour.

“Are you sure about this?” Fiona asked from behind her, plugging in the device.

Tegan looked down at her phone, at his name. Flicking through the messages, the naughty pictures and sexts, back and forth. She pressed his name until the options screen came up. Do you wish to delete and block this contact?

Her finger hovered over the screen. No. Of course, she didn’t.

But as much as she tried to think otherwise, she knew herself. She’d cave in some time and call him. Needing him. She couldn’t afford that, and neither could he. She would need all the strength she could muster to survive, starting today. Inner strength. Discipline. Doing what she had to do for both of them.

She’d rather face hell alone if it meant not risking having him sink with her.

She looked at the screen and remembered Fiona’s question. Her whispered answer was for both of them. “Yes.”

She pressed accept on her phone and closed her eyes.
