BIRDIE

Winter had been gone all day.

I checked my watch for what felt like the thousandth time.

5:18 p.m.

I wasn’t sure whether to be concerned or not. This was unlike him. When Winter said he’d do something, he did it. I couldn’t recall a time when he hadn’t. Not even when we’d fought in the past. And we’d had some god-awful fights. But he had never gone off grid like this.

I’d tried to call him a few times and sent a text, but his phone was either switched off or dead. I figured it was switched off. I didn’t blame him. But at the same time, I was going crazy with worry and doubt.

Winter had said he wasn’t done, but then he’d looked at me like he never had before. Like he wanted to be anywhere but with me. And now that he’d had hours to think about everything I’d told him, I couldn’t help but wonder if he’d changed his mind.

My phone rang and I snatched it up, desperately hoping it was him while also dreading it. I feared the words from his mouth, “I’m not coming back,” but I needed to hear his voice.

“Have you heard from him yet?” Cleo.

“No. Nothing. Not a text, not a call. I’ve really screwed this up, Cleo.” My unsteady voice and anxiety annoyed even me. You caused this, Birdie. Now you have to pay the price.

“Well, yeah, you screwed shit up a long time ago, but this isn’t something we didn’t know.” I loved my best friend’s blunt honesty. Really. “But you’ve done the right thing now by telling him. You need to stay strong, babe, and have faith in your man. Winter loves you in a way I don’t see often; I think he’ll forgive you.”

“I’m not so sure.” I’d been a fool years ago when I’d thought I could solve our problems by getting pregnant. All I’d ended up doing was ruining us and causing the man I loved a whole lot of hurt, which was the last thing I ever wanted to do.

“Birdie,” Cleo started, but I didn’t hear anything after that because the door to the hotel room opened and Winter entered.

With my heart racing, I said quietly, “I have to go,” and ended the call. I dropped the phone on the bed and moved to him without realising I’d taken the steps. “What happened to your face?”

His jaw clenched. “I had a disagreement with someone.” His tone was clipped and I knew that was all the information I would get as to why his face was bruised and swollen.

Taking a step back, I offered, “I’ll call down to see if they have an ice pack.”

“I don’t need one.” Again, clipped. And I caught a whiff of whisky.

My heart dived into my stomach.

“Winter, you do—”

“I don’t.” He walked to the bed, sat, and removed his boots.

I watched him silently while my tummy cramped, my heart gasped for air, and my mind tangled with a million thoughts that all clamoured to be spoken.
