He nodded. “I’ll drive you.”“What about my car?”Frank stood up and then pulled a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and laid it on the table. Then, he turned around and nodded to the bartender who nodded back, his eyebrows pulling together in concern. Then, Frank turned his attention back to me. “Give me your keys and I’ll have someone drive it to your house later.”I fished around in my purse and pulled out my keys and handed them to him. I was in no condition to drive, and I knew it. I tried to stand up, but the room whirled around me. I gripped the edge of the table to steady myself, but Frank’s strong hands gripped my shoulders to steady me. I picked up my purse and started to walk away, but I weaved. So, Frank scooped me up in his arms and carried me outside, walking quickly toward his car.“How could he do this?” I asked, and then everything went black.I opened my eyes, and

Logan After I left Alyssa’s old apartment, I was at a loss as to where to look next. I let out a deep breath as I looked around, wondering where to look next. When I left New York, I hadn’t really thought it out. I guess I should have hired a private investigator to find her first. But this was something that I wanted to do alone.I got back in my car and drove to downtown Nashville. The sun was still high in the sky. Nashville was the best. I hadn’t realized just how much I’d missed it until just now. Almost of its own accord, my car drove to the Powder Keg Tavern. It had always reminded me of Alyssa.“May I help you?” a gum smacking, bleached blonde waitress asked.“Table for one,” I said, loosening my tie. Somehow, here in Nashville, I didn’t feel as comfortable wearing one.She smiled. “Well, all right then. Right this way.”I smiled as I followed he

After renting a hotel room, I spent the rest of the weekend waiting, thinking of Alyssa. I knew what I wanted to say to her, but had no idea how I was going to say it. A million things ran through my mind, wondering what she had been doing all these years, and if she was married. Rage filled me as I thought of her leaving me and marrying some other guy. Somehow, since I saw her at the party and found out she was alive, the thought of her marrying someone else had never crossed my mind. What if she was married to the guy she was with at the party?I shook my head to clear the images.I thought of going by my old apartment with the guys, but I knew that they probably had moved and I had no desire to see them. After all, they didn’t even try to contact me over the years. And other than them, there was really no one in Nashville that I would consider a friend, and all of the offices everywhere were closed for the weekend. It was too cold to swim and I thought of goin

Alyssa I watched as Logan stormed out the door, taking my dreams with him, as tears streamed down my cheeks. For some reason, I couldn’t look away, even after he was long gone.Alanna placed her hand on my arm as she led me back into my office. “Alyssa, are you all right?”I didn’t answer. Alanna nodded to Mrs. Farrow, and she walked out and closed the door behind her.“I’m going to go chase him down and give him an ear full!” she said, looking out the door. “How dare he talk to you like that!”I stopped her as she started to walk away. “No. Let him go,” I said, looking up at her with a blank look in my eyes. “He’s right.”“He was right?” she asked, her voice raising several octaves. “Alyssa, what the fuck are you talking about?”I nodded. “Think about it, Alanna. He thought I was dead, just like I t

A few minutes later, we pulled into a long driveway, hidden in the woods.“Man, Greer! You weren’t talking about secluded!” I teased. “What? Did the ‘ultimate party girl’ finally decide to go off the grid?”She laughed. “I’m afraid my ‘ultimate party girl’ days are over.” Then she looked over at me, smiling. “And I’m happy for it.”I returned the smile. Straight ahead a three-story wooden house with big plate glass windows across the front in all levels came into view. “Oh my goodness, Greer! This is gorgeous!”She smiled proudly as she pulled up in front of the house. “Leave the bags and come here,” she said. “I want to show you something.”She scooped Jasmine up into her arms, and I took Gray by the hand and followed. She walked to the back of the house, actually the front, and it was facing a secluded river. I realized th
