Home Sweet Home: a Sweet, Texas Novella
“Jesus.
Why hadnt he just chucked her on the chin or given her a pat on the back with that lame-ass exit? Hed known what had to be done. Hed been thinking about it from the moment hed boarded the plane back to the U.S. Hed talked it over with his brother, who had called him all kinds of crazy before relenting that maybe he was right. Maybe it was time to let go of the best thing that had ever happened to him.
Right didnt make it hurt any less.
His form of a good-bye had been ludicrous and selfish. Especially when hed said it to the woman whod patiently waited years for him to come home.
He should never have had her get in his truck.
Should never have gone to her house.
Should never have looked at her the way hed envisioned her in his dreams all those lonely months.
He should have kept his damn pants on and his good-bye brief.
But he hadnt done any of that.
Hed taken everything shed offered. Made love to her like a man who planned to stay. And then hed walked away as if she... meant nothing.MoreLess
