The Bound Heart
“The sheets were cool where they should have held a warm, sleeping Olive.
He pushed up on his elbow and scanned the room. Her clothes were gone.
His chest constricted. She had left in the clothes she’d come in.
A tight band circled around his chest and tightened with each stroke of the clock as it ticked in the room that was now far too still.
Something could be happening to her right now.
The cloak would hide much, but men were no fools. And he thought she wouldn’t have been... either.
Damn it, what was she thinking?

It took forever to hail a cab. He jogged to the largest thoroughfare and found one eventually.MoreLess
