Lara ended up staying the night in Kelsey’s guest bedroom. They’d stayed up late and polished off close to two bottles of wine. Not driving was an excellent idea. But she snuck out just after dawn and left a note saying she’d call her later and headed for the nearest coffee stand.

She ordered the strongest drink she thought she could stand, a triple shot white chocolate mocha and headed home. The one good thing about not having someone waiting for you was that you could come and go as you please. She felt kind of sorry for Kelsey, knowing she’d have to give up a piece of her independence.

With thoughts of freedom and empowerment on her mind, she took a long hot shower and debated whether she should just go to bed and grab a couple more hours of sleep. But her mind was keyed up, and she needed to begin working on a new budget, especially if she ended up moving away. Hopefully, her house would sell quickly now that she would have two fewer months of salary.

She’d just pulled on her yoga pants and a long-sleeved soft pink Henley when she heard the doorbell. Seven o’clock was a bit early for someone to be at her door. Everyone she knew would have either called or texted first if they wanted to see her so early on a Sunday morning.

Lara didn’t bother to look through the side window next to her front door. However, when she flung it open to greet her early morning visitor, she’d wish to God she had.

“Nate. Wha...what are you doing here?” Lara instinctively took a step back to increase the distance between herself and her dog of an ex-boyfriend. “You’ve got a lot of balls coming back here.”

She watched as the man who’d ripped her self-worth to shreds before she finally grew a pair and kicked him out of the house almost a year ago. The asshole grinned at her and leaned on the doorframe like he had every right to be there.

“Hey, Lara. Normally, people invite their company inside when they stop by for a visit.”

“Nate Rollins, you can turn your sorry ass around and get off my porch. Better yet, leave town, leave the state. You wore out your welcome a year ago.” She grabbed the door to slam it in his face, but he was quicker and put his elbow up to stop it from fully closing.

“Where were you last night, Lara? How come you didn’t return my call? I came into town just to see you.”

“Oh, really. What about what’s her name? The poor woman you convinced she was the only woman in your life too.”

“Let me in, Sunshine. I’m in a really good place right now, and I want to talk things out. I’ve missed you.”

She couldn’t believe there’d been a time when she used to love that nickname. Just like she used to think she loved him before she wised up and realized she only loved the idea of them; before his drinking became a wedge between them.
