CHAPTER FOURTEEN

SABRINA

What was I thinking?

I could have gotten myself killed. I could have caused Wyatt or Jackson to be injured by an Iron Wraith. Bikers scared me. What had possessed me go to their lair? No, it was a club—except the Wraiths didn’t have Jax or Opie to make it sexy.

I am so stupid.

I sat at the stop sign that led into town. I wanted to turn down the road that led home and go hide. I wanted to skip work so I wouldn’t have to face anybody, but I couldn’t do that. I felt like I had come a long way, and I didn’t want to go back to my loneliness and books.

Where do I go from here?

I heaved out a sigh and turned into the library lot to park my Jeep. Even if I had lost my chance with Wyatt, I still wanted to keep the goals I had set for myself. That was important to me—maybe even more important than dating Wyatt. Or dating anyone else, if it came to that.

Life was much simpler when it was just me and my books.

I trudged through the parking lot to the library. I was scheduled to work lunch today, a short shift in the middle of the day. It wouldn’t be right to make Naomi or Mrs. MacIntyre cover for me again. I still felt like crap for the last time I left them in the lurch.

Extreme emotions were kicking me out of my usual run and hide response to stress today. Anger at Michael caused me to go to the Dragon Biker Bar and now guilt was making me go into work.

My date with Wyatt was supposed to be this week—our first official date. Though I felt like I could count our time at Genie’s as a date. I couldn’t shake the feeling that now it wouldn’t happen.

The possibility that I would lose my chance with him hurt my heart. But I didn’t know him well enough for this to be a true heartbreak, did I?

I felt wretched. Uncomfortable and sad, and unsure of what to do about it. I knew I screwed up by acting like a big, crazy dummy at the Dragon Biker Bar. I was worried about the kids, angry with Michael, and not thinking straight.

Should I call Wyatt and apologize? Text him? Or just wait and see if he showed up at the ranch to pick me up? I didn’t know the rules. I had read one million romance novels and they weren’t helping me right now.

“Hello, Sabrina,” Mrs. MacIntyre called from behind the counter, shaking me out of my angst-ridden thoughts.

“Hi, Mrs. MacIntyre.” I stashed my things on the shelf in her office and grimaced as I checked the to-do list. Blarg. I wanted to go home. I had a stash of Kit Kat bars in the freezer ready and waiting for an occasion like this.

“I hate to leave you alone, but I have a meeting about the library budget to attend. Naomi will be back in an hour.
