Chapter 17

“Thud!” I wince as my body shudders with the force of my hand against the other man’s head. Another bang and I frown. The sound continues, bringing me out of the same scene that repeats nearly every night, the sight of Theodore James hitting that wall from the force of my arm. More banging. My eyes flutter open and I turn to glance at the time, ten o’clock. My legs shift and I realize the banging is coming from the front door. Someone is insistent on getting my attention. I consider lying here longer and not answering it. Sooner or later they’ll give up, but it could be Christina. She may need me. I slide out from under the blanket and pull on a pair of jeans. I run a hand through my hair as I pull the door open.

A frazzled Red is standing there looking up at me with the saddest eyes. Her hair is a mess haphazardly piled on top of her head. Her face is clean and fresh with no makeup and my heart starts to hammer in my chest. If she wasn’t so upset, I’m sure she would be able to hear it.

We stand for what seems like a full minute staring at each other before she tells me, “It’s Meyer. H-he was upset last night when he came back to the hotel. Now he’s gone. I don’t know where he went.”

I remember the last I saw of him the night before when I blew him off. “Do you want to come in?”

As she walks through the open door, I wrestle with myself. Why the hell should I help her? She’s here with Meyer and he’s nothing but bad news. She turns back to me once the door is securely closed and my breath catches at the sight of her. The strength she displays without even knowing it. I know in that instant that I would help her fly to the moon if that’s what she wanted. The feelings I had so long ago to protect her surface full force and I want to take away anything that causes her grief.

“Where should we start to look for him? I went by Mills Pond first but he wasn’t there. Is there anywhere else he could be?”

I snap to my senses, staring at her. This is Meyer she’s trying to find. She came here with my childhood friend who had so much to do with me losing five years of my life. I shake my head and go into the kitchen. I suddenly need the warmth of coffee or anything to distract me. My hands itch to grab her and pull her body flush with mine so I can taste those perfect lips. I can only imagine how sweet they must be. Instead my focus is on getting coffee to qualm my body, trying to distance myself as far as I can. Something must be wrong with me if this woman affects me this much.

My chest heaves and I slam the door to the cabinet after taking the bag of coffee from the shelf.
