Blamed
“A light snow drifted down, falling under the streetlamps in a romantic glow and dusting the ground underfoot.
Shivering, having abandoned her coat upstairs, Beth wrapped her arms around her torso, clinging to what little body heat remained...and holding the raging hurt deep inside. Like a Band-Aid—rip her arms away, and all the pain of Vick’s betrayal would come pouring out, an oozing, infected wound on the fabric of her soul.
“Beth!”
Speak of the devil. Striding away from the build...ing and into the wind, Beth headed for the street, determined to lose him. “Go away.”
