Out of the Dark
“The trees and the grapevines are bare. Each day, the air gets colder and the landscape grows more lifeless as winter continues its descent upon Ravine Creek.
In my heart, I echo these drab and dreary visions. The life has been forced out of me and replaced with a chill. The memory of warmth is distant and unrecognizable. I’m living a lie. I’m not in love with my fiancé, I can’t let myself love the man I belong with, and I’m afraid to leave.
Stefan tries to understand my moods. He attributes my ...withdrawal to the loss of my mother.
I feel that brutal loss, too, but that’s not why I refuse to let him make love to me. It’s because I don’t want anyone that close to me ever again.
Anyone except Enzo.
At some point, I know I’ll have to give in to Stefan. I’m his fiancée, after all. I’m just not ready to face that farce yet. I can only think of Enzo. Of his passionate and loving face lingering over mine in the darkness of his hotel room. Of his dejected and lost expression when I caught him watching me dance with Stefan the night we returned from Michigan.MoreLess
