Elizabeth had mentioned to her via text that they were heading out by nine, and it was already nine thirty.
Instead, she went into work.
On her day off.
To forget.
It was Saturday, but being at home in the bed that she and Caspian shared was no lure now that he was on a jet heading home.
Yesterday, she’d not gotten to see him, and there was a reason for that.
She didn’t want to say goodbye and break.
Because she would.
By now, she was just a distant memory as he was somewhere over the middle of the country on his way back to the East Coast.
And it sucked.
He was all she was thinking about, and had been since he’d helped save her father, and disappeared from her life. What she did know was that life wasn’t fair.
Not.
At.
All.
Sitting in her chair, she put her feet up on her desk, and stared out the window.
God.
Why didn’t she beg him to stay?
Oh, she knew.
Because it was likely just some sex that he would forget. She was a simple Native woman, and a cop on a rundown reservation.
Why would he want anything with her?
He lived in a big city, and they had spectacular lives where they mattered.
She chased drunks.
That was all.
Rayna knew that when he said he’d come back on occasion, since they did, that this was going nowhere. That had been her big clue, so by not seeing him, she opted not to make a goddamn fool of herself.
Because she would have begged on her knees for him to stay.
And that was something that she’d never do forANYONEbut him.
By coming into work, she could believe she was busy, and just couldn’t get to him.
It was work’s fault.
NOT.
HERS.
