PG Excerpt
“You can trust
me, Jarrett. I won’t tell your parents anything you don’t want me to.” She
sighed and stood as well. “You used to tell me everything. We never kept
secrets.”
Jarrett paced
between the coffee table and fireplace. “My parents’ opinion doesn’t matter.
Dad would still throw up my juvie record or the fact that I’m not a cop, even
if I was a model citizen. I’m not that lost, angry kid anymore. I know who I am
now, and it’s not someone you’d want to know.”
“I disagree.”
“God, you
don’t understand. Marissa, I’ve missed you so damn much. I’ve laid awake so
many nights wondering what my life would’ve been like if I’d stayed here.” When
he made love to other women, he imagined Marissa beneath him or above him,
panting his name. When the nightmares of blood and gore faded, he dreamed of
her. Those bittersweet memories and what
if scenarios were almost worse than the nightmares. “I’ve done things I’m
not proud of.”
“I hated you
after you left, but I’ve gotten over it. Everyone feels regret and guilt over
something. It’s all about being human.” She dashed away her tears. “I told you
mine last night. Will you please show me the same courtesy?”
“I can’t.”
“At least tell
me what you did last Christmas. Jason made it crystal clear that he didn’t want
you alone. He wants you to have a tree.” She pointed at the Douglas fir. “Well,
there you go. What did you do last year?”
Jarrett licked
his dry lips, heat swelling in his cheeks.
He’d joined
the Consuelo gang last December and spent the holiday in a slummy apartment
with five thugs who sold cocaine on the streets of Albuquerque. Living around
his drug of choice had nearly destroyed him.
“What about
your last birthday?” Marissa blocked his path and braced her hands on her hips.
“Did you have cake or go out with a bunch of buddies and get drunk? Did
something horrible happen? Why won’t you tell me anything?”
He shoved a
hand through his hair. “Damn it, Marissa. Yeah, I got drunk. A few of us went
to a strip club where I fucked two dancers in a backroom. Is that what you
wanted to hear?”
Her eyes
widened as she stepped back.
Way to go,
you fucking idiot. He
brushed his shaky hands on his button-down shirt to steady them. “Marissa—”
She strode
past him with a high head and left the room.
Her cold shoulder skewered him, but he didn’t deserve better.
