Thirteen

WHEN WE GET BACK to the kite school, Casper pulls his kite up on the beach to a spot out of sight of the lagoon, while I pull right into the lagoon and see Will sitting on the picnic table, the irritation on his face visible from here.

“Where the hell did you go? I’ve been sitting here for an hour,” he snarls.

I look up at the clock on the hut. “It’s been forty-five minutes, Will, chill.” I’m trying hard to keep the fear and anger out of my voice. The hardest part about all of this, aside from not seeing Casper until Tuesday, is going to be pretending everything is normal until I can get away from Will. The desire to ask him why he’s been lying to me burns in my throat.

I know in my soul that Casper is telling me the truth, but I need to make sure I do some research tonight just to see what else I can learn. I’ve never used Google to stalk my own fiancé. Then again, most people don’t have a need to do such a thing because most people aren’t in relationships with liars worth billions of dollars.

“Chill?” The acid in his voice is sure to burn a hole through the picnic table.

“I just meant that I’m back now. The lessons are usually three hours so I didn’t rush. I love to ride and I thought you’d be having fun. Did you enjoy it at all?” I start breaking down my rig to give my hands something to do so I don’t have to make eye contact with him.

“Not really. But I guess it just confirms that my talents are better displayed in a boardroom than in a silly hobby anyway.”

I abandon my kite and stand up to face him, ready to unleash my anger but I don’t want to cause a scene here. I know Casper is watching us from somewhere close by in case he needs to intervene and I don’t want to give him a reason to show his face.

Feeling myself deflate, I just shake my head and let out a loud exhale. “I already put my bag in the gear room and I’ll ride with Johanna when she’s done with her shift. I’m sure she’ll drop me off tomorrow some time.”

Seeing the fight go out of me causes Will to put his fangs away. It almost seems like he wanted me to pick a fight with him. Are we both so miserable that we will do anything to get the other to leave? Was that even his angle here or just what I’m reading into it? Things are getting so muddy that I’m not sure which way is up.

Will wraps his arms around me and even though he has his shirt back on, I don’t, and the contact is too much. I try to pull out of his arms.

“Come on, Lib. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean your hobby was silly for you. I just meant that I probably shouldn’t have tried it.
