Chapter 28

Tank:

“Hello?” I whisper into the phone, my voice still hoarse with sleep. I don’t know what time it is, it’s still dark outside, and I don’t know why I’m sleeping on the couch. I don’t really know what I’ve been doing the last few days besides existing.

I do know Brooks is snoring away in Red’s room. My brothers haven’t left my side since Friday night. I think they think I’m going to kill myself. I’m suffering a fate much worse, though. Without Olive, I’m already dead. What we did to her, living with that, it’s the ultimate punishment. I don’t deserve to die. I need to live with this pain to make it up to her, even if she never speaks to me again.

“Hey,” she says, my heart skipping a beat when I realize it’s her voice I’m hearing. “I’m sorry, I turned my phone off. I couldn’t deal with it right now.”

“Where are you?” I ask. I need to see her. I need to make sure she’s alright. Our lawyer made us stay far away from the jail this weekend, and none of the guys would’ve let me near her, even if I tried.

“Sloan and Esther and I got a room for the night. We’re fine. I just wasn’t ready to come home yet. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize. Don’t apologize ever again. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“I miss you, Tank,” she says, and it sounds like she’s about to cry. I’d never admit it, but I’m about to, too. “I thought about you all weekend. I hope you know that.”

“Trust me, Olive, I couldn’t think of anything but you this weekend. Are you ok? Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine. I’m so exhausted I can’t sleep, hence the 3 a.m. phone call, but I’m fine.”

“I don’t care what time you call me, Olive. Hell, if you just want to put the phone on your pillowcase, I’ll stay awake all night and listen to you snore. I’m just really happy to hear from you.”

She’s silent for a moment, and I don’t know if she actually has dozed off or if she’s just trying to think of something to say. I don’t care either way. I’m just glad she’s speaking to me.

“I’m sorry your friend had to go away. I know how much he means to you.”

“He’s your friend, too, Olive. And he’s a grown man. He made some choices. He’ll be back, babe.”

“Yeah,” she whispers.

“Nothing has to change between you and me. Maybe things are going to be different, but the way I feel about you hasn’t changed since the day I met you. Nobody else can change that. That’s only you and me, and there’s nothing in the world you could do to make me care about you any less. Hell, I owe you my freedom right now. We all do.”

“Thank you,” she says. “You’re a good man, Tank. I love you. Hearing your voice makes me feel so much better.”

“Are you coming home soon?” I ask. “I need to see you.
