Magnificent Bastard
“I freeze, terrified he’s going to see me hiding behind the curtains and terrified that he won’t.
God, I don’t want him to leave without me.
I don’t want to spend the night alone in my childhood bedroom, haunted by the ghost of the girl I was back when I believed that the people I loved would never hurt me—at least, not on purpose. At least, not on purpose and then come back for seconds, blackmailing me into being the maid of honor at this nightmare wedding when I proved that I could take the “you’re sleeping with my boyfriend” punch without hitting the mat.
I want to go back to the cottage with Bash and pretend we belong there. Pretend he’s mine and I’m his and he’s never going to run from me again.
Please, see me, I silently beg. See me and come back and make me stop pushing you away.
Don’t go. Please don’t go.
But after a moment, Bash tilts his head down, casting his eyes in shadow, and starts toward the car. He walks faster than he did before as if he can’t wait to get away from th...is house and all the crazy inside of it.MoreLess
