I wondered what was causing him pain, was it why he had moved here? This was the most thought I’d had about any one man in years. I found myself smiling, but scared witless at the same time.
TAJ
After Rhett dragged me down to Pipers salon to meet her crew I was exhausted. I hated acting like I wanted to be there, like I actually wanted to meet those people. I really didn’t give a shit about making new friends. I’d moved away to get away from well-meaning friends, always trying to stick their nose in. Wanting to know how I was coping, wanting to set me up with their cousins boyfriends sister.
I just wanted to be alone.
The one good thing to come out of tonight though, was that girl. She knew pain, she knew loss, she knew me. I don’t know how I knew that about her, but I did. I was drawn to her. Not physically, though she was beautiful. Even under that baggy black shirt and leggings.
I rubbed the back of my neck and took a deep breath in through my nose and out through my mouth. It had been a big day, I needed sleep.
Lying in bed I tossed and turned for an hour before I got up to find my sleeping pills. I hadn’t taken them since moving here. I hadn’t needed to. I made sure I worked myself to the point of passing out by the end of each day. But today, I didn’t get that chance since Rhett kicked me out of the shop and forced me to go with him.
Thoughts of that girl kept swirling around in my head. I wondered if Tempest was really her name. If it was, I liked it. It suited her, it suited the storm I could see swirling around in her green eyes. Then I started thinking about her deep green eyes and everything I saw inside of them. I could swear her pain matched my own.
I wanted to know how she still got out of bed every morning, how she went to work every day, how she carried on with her life? How did she stop herself from drowning in the pain?
That was my last coherent thought, then the sleeping pills kicked in and I was cast into darkness.
