Highland Fling
“When he’d heard about the accident from Phil he felt as if his throat had been slit. Horrific pictures of her twisted, mangled body instantly flicked through his mind and he almost blurted out everything then and there. Almost, but not quite.Phil said Kim was okay and Ross regained his composure, he knew once he’d said it, there would be no going back and he was glad that he could delay it for a little while longer. But that was all he could do. The shock of thinking Kim might be seriously hurt... was a real wake-up call and clarity finally dawned.No matter how much it may hurt Jack and no matter what happened from here, the truth must come out. There was no way Ross could just stand by and watch Kim marry Jack. Ross loved Kim, had probably always loved her, even before she had started dating Jack. He had seen her a few times when he’d gone to meet Phil after work at Brockleman Brothers Bank and once, he’d considered asking her out, but she seemed to be with some guy so he’d held back.Ross was in New York on a business trip when Kim had started dating Jack and he couldn’t help but feel that if only he’d been in The Mucky Duck that night, (The Black Swan was its actual name but the regulars all affectionately called it The Mucky Duck) things might have turned out differently.For two years, Ross put his feelings on the back burner and watched Kim and Jack’s relationship develop, always hoping it would come to nothing, but when Kim announced after Christmas, that they were engaged and were getting married in March, it were as if Ross had been struck by lightning.MoreLess
