Synopsis:
Rylee and Colton's ride
continues...
One moment. Six years

The night she made the
world around me so much more than just a blur. Now it's the catalyst that
threatens to tear us apart.
Our happily was
supposed to be ever after. So why do I feel like it's slipping through my
fingers?
How can one moment,
when our world seemed so right, resurface and cause our perfect life to spiral
out of control?
I can't lose her.
She's my checkered
flag.

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.
