Chapter 19

“Ty,” I breathed, wide eyed with shock as I took him in.

“Can I come in?” His question was more of a formality as he brushed past me into my apartment. The spot on my arm where his suit jacket grazed my skin felt like I’d been sliced open with a sharp knife. Dumbfounded, I stared after him as he made his way further into the living room. Unbuttoning his jacket, he reached into an inside pocket and pulled out papers. I couldn’t help but notice how he looked like he belonged as he stalked across the room with long strides. Recognizing the stationary with my return address on the front, I snapped out of the daze I was in and closed the front door.

Standing at the threshold of the living room, I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. Still reeling from the fact that he was in my apartment, I was at a loss for words. All reasonable thought escaped me. All I could do was stare blankly at him. As the seconds ticked by, my anxiety grew.

He assessed me carefully before he spoke. “Is this true?” His voice was even, yet tired.

I looked at the papers he was fisting. I don’t know what he’s specifically referring to, but everything I wrote was honest, I thought as I nodded.

He looked down at the letter and turned to the next page. Feeling compelled to explain myself, I started talking more rapidly. “He told me about the other women and that you were done with me. And it hurt, but I understood. I didn’t put that in the letter to deflect blame. I just wanted you to know that I knew and that I understood. The whole point of the letter was to let you know how truly sorry I am for…everything. I was wrong. I was so wrong and I’m so sorry.”

He sat down on the edge of the couch and looked down at the slightly wrinkled papers in his hands. His elbows were resting on his knees as he studied the words I wrote. Dropping his chin to his chest, he rubbed his hand down his handsome face twice. The silence stretched between us.

“I’m going to kill him,” Tyree roared standing up abruptly. His outburst was so unexpected that I flinched. “I’m going to fucking kill him!”
