“You were thinking about him.”
My eyes opened, my blissful mood intruded upon. “What?”
“You’re worrying he’s still lurking around.”
“I’m sorry.”
The soap hit the shower floor, and he pulled me into his arms. “What did I tell you about that?”
“I—”
He arched a brow, and I closed my lips.
Pressing a kiss to the tip of my nose, he said, “You don’t have to apologize for anything. Not for the way you feel or who you think about.”
“I don’t want to think about him.”
“I know that, angel. I wish you didn’t have to.”
“The cops are so sure he left town,” I said, but he already knew.
“And you aren’t.”
We’d had this conversation more than once. Talked to the police more than once. He never acted any way but patient when it was brought up again. And again. But I was growing tired of it. I just wanted to be happy. I wanted to move on with Win and not feel the need to look over my shoulder, waiting for Oskar to show up again.
“He’s not just going to let this go.”Let me go.
“I believe you.”
“I wish you knew what those words mean to me.”
“I’ll always believe you. I’ll always choose you.”
I shook my head. “He’s narcissistic. He’s probably convinced he won’t get caught.”
“Good.” Win rumbled. Running his hands along my back to rinse away what was left of the soap.
I looked at him, questions in my eyes.
“That’s his weakness, and it will be his downfall,” he explained.
“You think?” I asked, hopeful.
“Yes. I do. He’ll make a mistake, and then we’ll get him,” Win said, confident.
My stare dropped to the healing knife wound across his side, and I prayed whatever mistake Oskar made this time wouldn’t put another scar on my boyfriend.

Win
I should have chasedhim down that day. I should have made sure he was put in handcuffs.
Or…
I should have just killed him.
Solves nothing, killing does.
