CHAPTER 7

I forced my eyes away from the porch as I pulled out of her driveway but she was riveted to the spot, watching me, wondering what the hell just happened, and I had no explanation.

I was terrified and running scared. I always meant to leave her at the door tonight with a kiss. All part of my plan to take it slow. But then dinner went so amazing, and I fell head over heels in love with her again. Leaving her now would do nothing to save my heart if this went bad again, but my salvation was still intact—at least for another minute.

Three times I circled the block—headed back to her house—and each time I managed to get my grip on the wheel under control before I drove back down her street. She was probably still standing there and then I’d just look like an idiot.

I was an idiot.

Both for letting her back into my life and for driving away tonight. I’d been a mess for days. Ainsley was about to have my head over what an unfocused douche I’d been since the night she signed me—the night I went to Sasha’s and revived this entire relationship like Dr. Frankenstein. Tonight was vindication that raising the monster of our relationship was the right thing to do, but I was still a mind-fucked case over her. I loved her so much and I’d do anything to protect her, and right now, I’d turn my entire life right back over to her if she asked.

I was terrified she’d ask.

I played a good tough-guy and made her think that I had my shit together and if she made me choose I’d leave her standing in my rearview mirror, but that was so far from the truth.

I swung into the park where we ran and pulled over in front of that infamous bench. I leapt out of my car. Panic pressed my throat closed and my heart was in a vice grip that tightened with every beat. I gasped for breath and collapsed onto the bench. Head in my hands, I searched for a solution before I passed out.

I had to trust her.

With my heart, my life. All of it.

The tightness in my chest constricted until I couldn’t draw breath. My fingers dug into my chest and I swore I was having an old-man heart attack. With one word, Sasha could incinerate my entire life. All of it. Gone.

I was a fool for putting her in that position of power again.

But I was helpless to stop it.

There was no me without her.

And while the music was good when she left, now I knew what I was capable of and I knew it would be a thousand times better with her.

Because heartbreak wasn’t sustainable.

But love was.

And I loved her with everything I had. More than music. More than my family. More than singing in front of a live crowd.

Like a punctured balloon, the tightness in my chest exploded and I could finally take a breath.
