CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

JT was half engrossed in sketching when Hallie stalked into the room less than two hours after she left. Anger crackled in the air around her. She tried to hide whatever happened between her and Cameron between jokes and smiles but JT knew something was seriously wrong.

“Hey,” he said reaching for her hand and pulling her to the bed. “What happened?”

She turned on her side, propped her head up with her hand and sighed. As the seconds passed JT believed she wasn’t going to actually answer him. Slowly as if it pained her to say it Hallie said, “Just a lot of bad memories.”

He didn’t have time to fire a question off before she silenced him. “I really don’t want to talk about it. I just want to watch bad TV and eat all the carbs.”

“Do you hear it?”

He almost laughed out loud at the puzzled look that flashed across her pretty face.

“Hear what?”

“The sound of Marcel having a heart attack.”

She smiled and JT felt a thousand feet tall knowing that despite whatever chaos erupted inside her he could still make her smile.

“Thank you for being here,” she said.

“You’re starting to sound like a broken record,” he teased. “No thanks needed. How about some room service?”

Hallie cuddled into herself while JT fetched the menu. He worried about the sad, haunted look in her eyes. She warded off any discussions about her true feelings for Cameron by saying that it was just a kid crush but JT wasn’t sure he believed her. Could she still love the man? Anger and jealousy rubbed his spirit raw. He didn’t know Cameron but he was sure he didn’t deserve Hallie. He definitely didn’t deserve any of the unshed tears behind her eyes.

“What happened today?” he asked. “You look really shaken up.”

She smiled at him. The safe, fake smile would have worked on strangers but he was insulted she’d even try it on him.

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Since when we don’t share things?” he asked even though he knew pushing Hallie was like prodding a rattlesnake with a stick.

“It isn’t serious. Just drop it.”

Her tone was more like the one she’d use on Dustin than him and he’d have teased her about it if he hadn’t been worried. JT decided to play the game her way so instead of pushing further he ordered the greasiest, most sugar filled items off the room service menu.

“I’m sorry for snapping at you,” she said when he returned to bed.

“It comes with the territory of being your boyfriend,” he teased and she rewarded him with one of those smiles that made his heart swell.

“I can’t wait to get out of here. Just two more of these stupid events left.”

JT raised his hand in an imaginary toast. “That makes two of us.”

She started to speak but he silenced her with one of those soft, impersonal kisses that used to be customary between them. Those kisses used to sustain him before he knew just how hot the real ones could get.
