Come to the street out front. Don’t stop for anyone. Go now.
I thought he was on the beach? I was so happy. I didn’t care what kind of surprise he had planned next. I would have been happy to curl up next to him and make love all night long but Cole was a romantic. I didn’t care about grand gestures but I knew whatever he had planned, I would love. I wasn’t even wearing shoes but I did as I was told. Dressed in my painting top, no bra, my jeans and a ring I would never take off as long as I lived, I sprinted – no, no - I flew through the front door not even bothering to close it and headed straight to the front gate. I flung it open and looked for him, my chest heaving, waiting to see his beautiful eyes and tell him I would be his forever but he wasn’t there. “Cole?” I shouted the excitement and joy barely contained. “Cole? Stop hiding! Where are you, baby?” I looked back and forth, thinking he would suddenly pop out of the bushes behind me or drive up in a horse drawn carriage.
If only that had been the case. Out of nowhere I felt one arm roughly grab me, preventing my arms from moving, another with a cloth over my mouth, dragging me to a car only a few feet away. I felt the fight go out of me almost instantly and knew this wasn’t Cole, my white knight. As the car sped away, I heard a voice next to my ear before I lost consciousness.
“We have unfinished business, Annie.”
