Excerpt:
“Sara.” The voice broke her out of her
thoughts and she refocused on the present. “What is going on?”
“Nothing.”
Scarlet appeared as if out of thin air,
standing patiently in front of her. “You’re lying.”
“No I’m—”
“Come on, Sara, you know I can see right
through you. What’s up?”
She turned away but felt an arm looped
through hers. Scarlet pulled her along and promptly seated her on a stool at
the bar.
“What can I get you ladies?”
“Two—”
“Patron with a lime, two.” Sara glanced at
her friend’s shocked expression before looking into the crowd.
“Okay Jose, spill. What’s going on? You
look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Their shots arrived and Sara downed hers before
Scarlet handed over the money.
“Another.”
“Hold that,” Scarlet said.
Sara met her friend’s gaze, annoyance bubbling
in her throat.
“Not until you tell me what’s going on.”
Sara looked away, breathing through the
tightening in her chest. “Will’s here.”
“What? You’re kidding, you saw him?”
I did a lot more than see him.
“What happened?”
Sara motioned to the bartender, avoiding a
response.
“You believe them, don’t you? Sara, we
talked about this, there is no proof. You can’t believe a rumor.”
“It’s not just a rumor.”
“How do you know?”
“Because it happened to me!” She lifted
herself out of her seat as the blood rushed to her head. “What they are saying
happened in California. That is what happened to me here. How can I not think
it’s true?”
“That’s not what happened though, Sara. Not
from what you told me, anyway.”
“How can I be sure? Maybe I just got swept
up in the whole scenario. The idea of a man like him wanting me for more than
just…”
“Stop it. I’m not going to sit here and
allow you to destroy something based on a rumor.”
“He was fired, Scarlet!”
“We don’t know for sure the reason, and
there is no evidence to say that’s why.”
“We don’t know it wasn’t.”
“Then how do you explain him being here?”
“I don’t know, I—“
“Did you ever think that maybe he’s here to
talk to you?”
“I don’t want to talk to him, Scarlet.” The
tightening in her chest turned to raw pain. “I can’t—“
“Too bad.” Will’s voice rang through her
body and she spun on her heel in surprise. “Because we’re going to talk, and
you’re going to listen to me, whether you like it or not.”
“I’m not doing this.” She darted away from
the bar.
His hand caught her wrist, preventing her
escape. “Sara—“
“Just leave me alone!”
“No!” He moved closer, his body casting a
low shadow around her. “Not until you listen.”
