Excerpt:
Staring at the empty doorway, I’m not quite sure what to think
so I lean back in the chair and blow out a slow and steady breath to calm myself. Colton’s never
said anything like that to me before, and while everything he just said holds serious merit, I’m
still astounded he said it. And while a small part of me warms, knowing he wants to take care of
me, a larger part is irritated he’s laying down the law. The irony.
It doesn’t mean I have to abide by it though.
I look toward the ceiling and close my eyes momentarily. The
many things I need to do run through my head, but I can’t do any of them because I can’t leave
my house, can’t carry on my life like normal. I’m stuck here and that thought alone makes me
feel claustrophobic.
I’m exposed to the world but trapped in my house.
Feeling defeated, my eyes flutter open to see the beach
beyond the windows down below. And for the first time since we’ve met, I truly understand
why Colton finds such refuge in his beloved beach—the crash of the waves, the feel of the sand
beneath his feet, and the sense he’s this tiny blip on Mother Nature’s radar.
A soft chuckle falls from my lips as it hits me. On the beach, he
feels inconsequential. How very fitting for a man who once told me I would never be that to him to
have the need to feel that way at times.
My mind shifts back to that place and time. A ghost of a smile
turns up my lips of the welcome memory of the Merit Rum party: dancing in the club followed
by him chasing me into the hallway. Angry words. Contemptuous kisses. Hungry eyes. An
elevator ride to the penthouse with a promised threat to decide. Yes. Or. No.
I find comfort in the memory. Without that night, there most
likely wouldn’t be this. No Colton. No baby on the way. No chaos to want to hide from.
My eyes are drawn back to the beach. To the temptation of
Colton’s place to escape. Sadly, right now, I couldn’t escape down there if I wanted to. At least
he can get on his board and paddle out beyond the break to get some distance from the
photographers. I’m not so lucky.
What I’d give to be inconsequential right now.
And yet deep down, no matter how hard I try, I know I will
never be that to Colton. He’d never allow it. My handsome, complicated, and very stubborn
husband takes too much pride in the two things he never thought he’d have—a wife and her
love—to ever let me feel inconsequential again.
