Chapter Three

Thea

MY EMOTIONS WERE IN TURMOIL.

Last night, River climbed into his truck and drove off, leaving me to go to my room, bewildered and hurt at what happened in the stable. I spent several minutes picking the straw out of my hair and then I ended up crying my heart out in the shower. I felt so close to him. It felt like it used to; like we loved each other just as desperately as we always had.

Methodically, I dressed in old jeans and a top that I’d left here three years ago. I felt guilty. He was right. I left him, I left Uncle Leonard, I left Mason and The Acres because on a shopping trip to Dallas with a couple of my local friends; we were stopped by a Ford Agency scout. She asked me to come to New York for a photo shoot as a test. River went with me, so I thought he was supportive, but it turned out, he never expected they’d want me. I was hurt because I saw it as a lack of faith, and he was hurt because he thought modeling meant more to me than our relationship.

It wasn’t true. I wanted both, but he was filled with anger when I left. I thought he’d come around, but after a few months of stilted phone calls, he stopped making them. I was successful and got busy; traveling all over the world for runway shows and magazine shoots. I even did a couple of music videos. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed and I’d only come home for Christmas once. River was with his family and he refused to see me; even though I’d tried.

I pulled my hair into a high ponytail and left off all makeup. It was nice not to have to bother. I was hungry, and on the way down the stairs, I heard River’s voice talking to a woman. It wasn’t Marina, who, undoubtedly was primping to the nines. She’d set her sights on River and she didn’t have a clue about our past relationship. I guess I couldn’t blame her, but I knew her and she’d screw anything with a cock and he had an amazing one. I prayed River wouldn’t take her up on what would become an obvious offer. I dreaded watching it play out and I could only hope he’d respect me enough to refuse her. I could tell him flat out to stay away from her, but thinking it would hurt me might make him go for it even more. He seemed so full of anger, and I couldn’t give him any more ammunition.

I walked slowly down the stairs; the last few steps trying to figure out who he was speaking to.

“Thanks for the food,” he said casually. “That was nice of you, Suz.”

Suzy fucking Welling.

He was calling her Suz? I didn’t like the familiarity it suggested.

My breath left in an agitated huff. She was my arch nemesis in high school, in ten different ways.
