Chapter Fourteen

Sebastian didn’t know how long he sat on the floor of the cabin, first in shock and then with a silly grin on his face. She loved him! He finally recalled the unknown feline shifter that may have come to do harm to his Bug. He jumped up and threw his clothes and boots on. He had tracked Susan down the road until the leftover odor of exhaust from a snowmobile had interfered with his nose and he lost her scent. He wanted to roar with frustration, but decided to stop in to check with Riley and Tara Cooper since their house was so close. It was cold outside and Susan may have stopped there. Unfortunately, when Tara opened the door to him, he was quickly disappointed. The upside was that Tarvahl Pierce pulled into the drive on his snowmobile soon after and was able to assure him that Susan was safe and that he had given her a ride to the bed and breakfast. He hung his head in shame however when Tarvahl informed him that she had been crying. It had never been his intention to cause her pain, and his guilt multiplied until the weight in his chest felt like it would crush him.

Sebastian nodded as three sets of eyes landed on him. “I need to go to her.” He said gruffly, heading for the door.

“Now hold on,” Vahl said, gripping his arm. “You may want to wait a bit. I don’t know about your lady, but most women don’t want to be seen when they’re all tear streaked and red eyed. She’ll just end up telling you to go away. You should let her get composed, and in my experience, you don’t show up empty handed. If you were an ass, you need to at least show up with flowers.”

Tara chimed in at that point. “I don’t know, Dad, if Sebastian waits too long she may think he doesn’t care.” She turned and pinned Sebastian with a look, “But I agree with the flowers.”

Riley didn’t offer an opinion, but just shook his head and chuckled. “Come on, Bastian, I’ll give you a ride into town and we can stop at the store for flowers.”

Armed with the only bouquet the store had, a sad bunch of mums in orange cellophane, Sebastian stepped through the doors of the bed and breakfast. Margaret Tully was quick to greet him with a smile, though her eyes betrayed her nervousness as they darted from his face to the flowers in his hand and back again. Apparently his new respectable hair cut hadn’t changed things overly. It was much the same with many of the people in town, especially the older women; they accepted his presence but preferred he keep his distance.

“Mr. Black, what a pleasure to see you again. What can I do for you this afternoon?” She asked her hands twisting the rings on her fingers in agitation.

He tried to smile but knew it probably came out more as a bearing of teeth.
