Sorry, Dexter, she’ll be so angry I told you where she is, but you have to come—now.
Jason’s are much along the same lines and the worried look on Sam’s face is nowhere near as bad as I feel inside.
Poor Holly. Why did I treat her so badly?
As soon as we land, Jason is on hand with the jeep and from the look on his face, he’s worried, which doesn’t make me feel any better.
As we head off, he shouts, “I’ve saddled your horse, you can change at the stables.”
Glad of his help, I quickly change into my jeans and plaid shirt and grabbing my hat take Saracen’s reins, who also seems to feel the urgency of the situation.
Without a backward glance, I ride like fury because every minute I’m away from Holly is one she doesn’t know I love her. As I even think the word, it surprises me I’ve come this far and the only person who needs to hear it is Holly herself.
By the time I lead Saracen into the clearing, I have run through every possible thing I’m about to say in my mind.
When I see her on the edge of the water, Summer tethered nearby, my heart physically thumps in my chest as I watch her beaten form throwing stones into the lake, looking so broken I feel like the biggest bastard alive.
She looks up as I approach and the blood drains from her face and the tears spill down her face as she whispers, “I’m sorry.”
