Synopsis:
Rylee and Colton's ride
continues...
One moment. Six years
ago.
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:
“I talked to my parents. To Tanner. To Shane.” My voice
fades off as the disbelief I have to take stock and let him know the damage
control I’ve
done takes hold. Unsure how to respond to me when he’s always so sure, he
just nods his head as our eyes hold steadfast. “I just don’t know...” My voice is so
soft, it sounds so very different than the storm of anger that rages inside me,
and yet I can’t
find it within me to show my emotions. I can feel his fingers tense from my
comment, see his Adam’s apple bob from the forced swallow, and notice the tick of
muscle as he clenches his jaw.
“We’ll get through this.”
The
condescending chuckle falls from my lips, the first break in my fraudulent faรงade because it’s so damn easy for him
to say. “I
know.” Voice back, emotion nonexistent, tone unsure.
Colton
stares, willing me to say more but I don’t. I just match him stare for hollow stare as images of
myself from Google flickering through my mind. Finally he breaks out connection
and reaches his fingers to pinch the bridge of his nose before blowing out a
sigh.
“Scream at me, Ry. Yell. Rage. Take it out on me. Do
anything but be silent because I can’t handle when you’re silent with me,” he pleads. All I can do is shake my head, dig down within
myself to will the emotion to come. When I can’t find the words or the feeling behind them, it unnerves
him, worries him. “I’m sorry, baby.
Were we stupid? Maybe. Do I regret it?” He shakes his head. “I regret all of this, yes, but that in general? No. So many
damn things happened that put you and me where we are now. So for that? I’m not sorry. You pushed
me that night, made me question if I could give someone more of myself.” He reaches
his free hand up to brush a thumb over the line of my jaw. His touch
reassuring, his words helping soothe the sting of our situation.
“It’s not your fault,” I say, trying to ease the concern in his eyes.
“Maybe not directly . . . but I made you color outside of
your perfectly constructed lines . . . do something against your nature, and
look what happened. I’m so sorry. I wish I could make this right,” he says,
dropping his head as he shakes his head in defeat. “All I can try to do is
mitigate the damage. That’s it.” He throws his hands up. “It’s killing me because I can’t fix this.” The break in his voice and the tension in his body would
have told me everything I needed to know even if he hadn’t uttered a sound.
I
look at my achingly handsome husband, so distraught, so desperate to make
wrongs right that aren’t his to be held responsible for. And seeing him as upset
as I am makes me feel a little better and allows me to dig into the deep well
of emotion. I finally find the words I need and want to tell him. The decisions
I came to last night when I sat on the deck and considered the life-altering
situation we were in.
“Stop. Please quit beating yourself up over this. I don’t blame you.” I pause, my
teeth worrying my bottom lip as I put words to my thoughts and wait for him to
hear that last sentence.
