Chapter 9

“So you’re going to just let her walk out of your life.” Jules didn’t turn to see his sister-in-law. He finished throwing the piece he’d been working on all day. He didn’t bother answering Rayne. He’d learned from that mistake earlier today.

Rayne was a little blunter than Ally, who had just left, and a great deal scarier. Em had been mean in that she’d destroyed the two pieces that he’d had nearly finished. When Bronwyn had come in second, he’d thought he was prepared for about anything, but he’d been wrong. Very wrong. She was one pissed off female.

He set the piece aside before getting up to get another ball of clay to throw. Rayne was sitting on the only other chair in the room, and he had to walk around her twice to get what he needed. She finally stood up and blocked his way.

“I’m trying to work here.” She looked around and smiled. “Please don’t do that. I have a show in a few more weeks and these pieces are paid for by a very big name.”

“Are you working to forget her, or do you even care what happens to her when she gets back to Washington?” Jules had thought of nothing else, but he doubted that she’d believe him. The others hadn’t.

“She made her decision, and so have I. She’ll be fine. Better probably than she would have been staying here.” He moved to the wheel again. “She’s a lot stronger than anyone ever gave her credit for.”

Every time he blinked, he saw her body. Lush and full, scarred and marred, but simply the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen. She’d done more than survive. She’d gone against all odds and lived to tell about it, but she’d also done something more. She’d done what she had wanted, something even with all his money he had not been able to do for a long while.

He glanced at Rayne when she didn’t say anything. “I talked to my agent this morning. I’m taking some time off and going to travel. I’ve…it’s been a long time since I’ve done something for me, and I’m going to take the time to smell the roses, as cliché as that sounds.”

“Why?” He shrugged at her question. “Don’t give me that shit. What are you going to do and why? You never do anything without a plan that’s been tweaked fifty times over and planned for months…where you’re going and how long you’re going to be gone, to the second.”

“I’m going to have the studio redone and when I return, I’m going to make art for me, not for what I think someone will buy. I have enough money now that I can do what I please. And if they don’t like it….” He didn’t finish, and she didn’t ask him to explain. “I don’t have a clue how long I’ll be gone, either.”

She pulled the chair over to where he was working and sat in it so that he could see her if he looked up.
