were together again then. He broke Faith’s heart twice
in one lifetime. She gazed at him in disbelief knowing she could
never be involved with him again. Even if her heart said yes, her
mind must say no. Faith and Cash had a love-hate relationship. She
was young and naive, and he was wild and on his own. He acted much
older than his years. Looking at him now, Faith realized he’s still
gorgeous. He had the thickest dark hair, she’d ever seen. And
muscular arms, with the broadest shoulders ever. He had a body any
woman would love to ride all night.
She could remember all those blissful nights filled
with hot, steamy sex. Her and Cash loved completely, until one day
he left without a single word and never returned. He broke her
heart, and she’d, under no circumstances, ever be able to trust him
again. However, she’s certain she wouldn’t have to worry about
trusting him again. He wouldn’t stay in town long enough to wound
her again.
The room started to close in on her. Faith focused
on the exit sign above his head, trying not to have a panic attack.
She couldn’t seem to get a handle on her life since the day she was
abducted and tortured. She needed to remember this was a job. She
wondered if Cash had anything to do with this operation. Trey
started to introduce him.
Cash said, “Well, well, if it isn’t my sweet baby
Faith. I’ve thought of you some many times.” He seized her and gave
her a big hug. “You haven’t changed a bit.”
Faith knew she’d changed, but she doesn’t care what
he thought right now. Her feelings were running rampant. Her heart
was hammering out of her chest. She began to realize she’s growing
weak. Something’s not right, she felt flush too.
He said, “Guess who is coming up behind me? You know
her too! She grew up with you, it’s Roni Moore. She’s the beautiful
voice you heard singing in the band.”
Truthfully, she didn’t hear a word Roni sang, but
said, “Oh, my goodness, Roni, hi!” Faith offered her a hug. She
could tell Roni’s stoned out of her mind. Faith fought the
irritation that soared through her. Roni was still the same girl
who’s a punk rocker that wore all black leather. Earrings lining
one whole ear and a nose ring, that’s Roni.
Trey stepped in to assist Faith. “So you all know
each other? That’s great. I’m no good at introductions anyway.”
She reached her hand out to the drummer of the band.
“I don’t think we’ve met.”
He timidly spoke, “No, we haven’t met before, and my
name is Eli Bentley. You must be Faith, Trey’s girlfriend,
right?”
“ Yes, I am, Trey and I’ve been
together for….”
Trey broke in saying, “For a couple of months
now.”
Faith breathed in deeply knowing she almost messed
up. She announced, “Hey, let’s sit down and play catch up. Roni,
you sit beside me so we can talk for a while.”
The jam-packed room appeared to be getting smaller
and smaller. Faith couldn’t hear the conversations at the end of
the table. Trey must had turned off his earpiece. She heard bits
and pieces of what he and Cash were talking about. Cash loved to
chat about himself, she saw that hadn’t changed. Roni was so eager
to see Faith.
She said, “What’ve you been doing lately? Daddy told
us you were some big detective in Indianapolis, but it doesn’t look
like that to me. I wish he could see you now.”
“ Where is your sister Dawn now? I
haven’t heard from her in so long.” Dawn was Faith’s best friend
all through school.
Roni, matter of factually tells Faith. “Didn’t you
hear about Dawn? She kept saying someone was going to kill her. She
had plastic surgery on her face, totally changing her appearance.
You knew she got married and had a three-year-old little boy,
didn’t you? She was my sister, but she started acting crazy and
became extremely paranoid. We received the call about six months
ago that she had shot herself.”
Shocked and saddened Faith exclaimed, “No, why
didn’t someone
