“But why would William tell me that she doesn’t want to stay here?” Jameson asked. “It doesn’t make sense.”
Bollocks. Uncle Willy told him that she said she couldn’t stay? Is that why he thought she’d lied?
Couldn’t they just have asked her what was going on?
She couldn’t . . . she couldn’t stick around and listen to anything more. To see Ian and Jack agreeing with Jameson.
Moving, she hurried away. She could barely see from the tears clouding her vision. But she didn’t care. All she wanted was to get away from here.
“I hate emotions,” she muttered. Why couldn’t she be cold and hard?
Why couldn’t she have slept with them without having feelings?
Because she found it hard to get turned on by people she didn’t know. Sure, at the club, she’d played with some Doms. But only ones she’d met and liked. And mostly, she’d stayed in the Littles area.
She’d shown them her Little.
She’d trusted them not to hurt her.
You’ve got no right to be hurt. They didn’t lie to you, didn’t promise you anything.
Jameson was their best friend. This was what they wanted. And it wasn’t like she could stay.
Still, learning what Jameson thought of her hurt. A lot.
“Hey, are you all right?”
She turned suddenly, staring blurrily at a woman walking toward her. Maggie wiped at her eyes. Why did she look so familiar?
“You . . . you’re the woman from the bathroom at the hospital.” Why would she be here?
“Ahh, yes. And you’re crying. Again.”
“I’m just slightly emotional at the moment. Ignore me.”
“Somehow, I don’t think it’s that. I don’t think our country is being very good to you.”
“No, that’s not true. Everyone is lovely. What . . . what are you doing here?”
“I’m part of the make-up crew.”
She was? Maggie couldn’t remember seeing her.
“I’ve been sticking mainly to the tent.”
Maggie nodded.
“Everyone is nearly done. They’ll probably be looking for you soon. Maybe you should . . . freshen up.”
“Is that code for saying that I look like crap?” Maggie asked.
“I would never say that. Come with me. I have a few things that can help.”
“Okay. Thanks. That’s kind.” Maggie stumbled along. “Aren’t we going in the wrong direction, though?”
“Hmm? Oh, they’re in my car.”
Why was there a car back here? A bad feeling filled Maggie. “I think I better get back.” She looked over her shoulder. She was so far from the tents that she didn’t think anyone would hear her unless she really yelled.
