Chapter Thirty-Two

Max fell asleep on the plane with her head leaning on Chaz’s shoulder. He was tired enough to sleep, but worry kept him awake. He hadn’t heard back from Cooper yet about how to handle things with Lea, and he began to wonder if he would ever be rid of her once and for all. He hated that he’d ever allowed himself to get roped into her aggressive sexual manipulations in the first place.

He looked at his reflection in the window against the dark sky. The man he saw looking back at him was not one he was proud of. Lea was like a noose around his neck, and if he’d only been honest with Kaylie in the first place, she never would have worried. It dawned on him that Kaylie hadn’t mentioned how she knew about Lea. Chalk up one more thing to worry about.

The captain came on the loudspeaker announcing their descent, startling Max awake.

“Sorry,” she said sleepily. A few strands of hair had sprung free from their elastic band, giving her a messy librarian look.

“It’s okay. I’m glad you slept.”

“Didn’t you?” She stifled a yawn.

He shook his head.

“Worried?”

“More than I care to admit.” He tightened his seat belt. Max did the same. “Max, I’m really glad you came with me. This would have been a much more painful trip had I been alone.”

“I’d never send you to the wolves alone. I learned my lesson two years ago.”

“You were at the festival two years ago,” he reminded her.

“Yeah, but I left your side for just long enough for her to swoop in and sweep you off your feet. I’d seen the way she’d been looking at you. She made no effort to hide the fact that she wanted you.” She smiled up at him. “Never again. I’ve learned my lesson.”

The plane touched down and they followed the streetlights, heading toward the parking lot.

“I need to get my car from the Village,” Max reminded him.

“Do you want to tell me why you had your bag in the trunk of your car?”

“I did that the night before. You asked me that the night I drove you home, but I guess you were a little drunk. Besides, don’t you know by now that I’m a little neurotic about being prepared?”

“Or maybe you thought you’d meet a guy and get lucky at Taylor’s Cove?” Chaz teased.

“Oh, yeah, ’cause I’m one of those girls, and because so many hot guys hang out at a bar that’s known for hosting bikers and old men?” She smirked. “How many times have I hooked up with a guy in all the time you’ve known me?”

Chaz thought about it, and the more he thought, the more he was sure that he’d never heard her talk about a boyfriend. “I’ve never heard you even talk about a guy.”

“Nope. Anyway, if my car’s out of your way, I can take a cab.”

“Right, after you saved me from the claws of Lea? No way. Get in.” Chaz was mindlessly running through his guy friends, wondering if any of them would be right for Max.
