of hers. She’s not denying that something is wrong but she’s not giving up any information either.” I take a deep breath to try and calm down. “She fell asleep in the car and I really saw it for the first time when she slipped her sunglasses off in her sleep. When I woke her up she started freaking out. It was like she was scared as hell and it took her several minutes to focus on the fact that I was talking to her. She was shaking and sweating and as soon as she put her glasses back on she started wiping away tears. She never said a word about it. I want to freaking kill him! WHO DOES THAT??? And to her? Seriously? What am I supposed to do? I can’t just let this go Kal.”
“Oh my gosh.” Kali sighed. “I knew something had to be off with him. She never talks about him really. Superficial stuff she’ll bring up but nothing really real. I can’t believe this. I don’t know Talon, but you can’t do anything. I know it sucks but it’s not your place.” I squat down next to my car and rub my face vigorously trying to calm the hell down. She’s right, of course, but I’m just not sure I’m strong enough to not do anything to protect her. Whether she is available or not, the girl has stolen my heart and I will do anything I can to make sure she’s ok.
“I know you’re right Kal, I just don’t know if I can do that. I guess I better get her bags and get back inside, see if she needs anything.”
“Talon be careful. I would hate to see you get hurt over this situation. I really like her, but I don’t know all that much about her relationship. She opens up about everything except for that, and if you picked her up from their condo then she obviously didn’t leave him. Try not to get too wrapped up in her, ok?”
“I think it’s a little late for that. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” I hang up before she has a chance to respond to that asinine confession. I collect the rest of her things from the trunk and wonder what the hell did she pack that she needed two suitcases and a bag? We’re only here for five days. I walk in and find her busy in the kitchen. She’s baking. She is absolutely beautiful in that kitchen, I want to stand here and stare at her all day. It breaks my heart that her perfect face was hurt so badly. I decide to take the bags to our rooms before I go and join her.

“Oh hey! I didn’t hear you come back in!” Bailey laughs. She was singing a song from who I recognize as Adele and twirling around in the kitchen with a spatula in hand and wearing my mother’s apron.
“That was pretty amazing. I never thought I’d get my own song and dance in my kitchen.” I try to be really serious but she’s blushing. And I want nothing more than to run to her and sweep her up in my arms.
“You could have announced your presence, ya know!” Her cheeks are a bright crimson and she’s letting out a laugh that hits me straight to the core. I am sickeningly fascinated with this girl.
“Now what kind of fun would that be?” I chuckle as I walk around the kitchen island to her side. “What are you making?”
“Banana Nut Bread. I hope you don’t mind. I know you were wanting to be alone today and I didn’t ‘peg you’ (she’s using the phrase I used towards her in her office about being a country girl, I must admit I like it) as the cooking type so I thought I’d be pretty safe in here to keep out of your way.”
I know I shouldn’t, but I walk up behind her and speak softly in her ear. “First, I love banana nut bread, good choice. Second, you are very wrong with your pegging, my dear. I’m an amazing cook; and third, you could never be in my way. I love your company.” She takes a deep breath before answering.
“I feel really bad though, I wish you would have told me when I called this morning.” She is so cute when she’s uncomfortable. I have to touch her. So I turn her around to face her and place my right hand on the left side of her face wrapping my fingers around
