He didn’t budge, but my bare feet
slipped, sending me toward the ground. Impossibly fast, Till’s hand
snaked out and caught my arm. But I didn’t let his chivalrous
gesture douse my fire. I had six months’ worth of words to say to
the man I was irrevocably in love with.
“You took what you wanted. Then you
left me.”
“Doodle,” he whispered.
I had been perilously close to the edge
of insanity, and with one single word, he’d pushed me over.
I lost it completely.
Pounding my fists against his chest, I
screamed at the top of my lungs, “It’s Eliza! My name is fucking
Eliza! Not Doodle!” I spun to march away, but Till’s arms folded
around me, lifting me off my feet to restrain me.
I was miniscule compared to him. There
was no use in fighting, but I still kicked my legs, irrationally
desperate to get away from him—but only because I knew I couldn’t
keep him for forever.
“Stop it!” he growled into my ear.
“I know your goddamned name—probably better than I know my own.”
While I was wrapped in Till’s strong
arms, six months’ worth of tears fell from my eyes. He carried me
to my apartment and guided me back through the window before
following me inside. Then he stripped out of his blood-soaked shirt
before dragging the blankets down and climbing into the bed behind
me. I cried for a while in his arms, even turning to face him, only
to cry against his chest. I had missed him so much.
I knew I’d loved Till years ago, but
this was more. I needed him in order to function on a very basic
level. Together, the world didn’t feel so big and overwhelming. He
was my escape—the dream personified.
Till Page was comfortable.
His hands trailed up and down my back
as he lulled me until the words fought their way out.
“I couldn’t stop going back,” I
announced in a broken whisper. “I didn’t know where you had gone.
And for the first time since I was thirteen, I was alone inside my
own head. God. It was a scary place.” I tried to joke, but the
tears streaming down my face told the truth.
“I’m sorry,” he responded on a
sigh. “I couldn’t stay.”
“Why?” I whined, but I curled in
closer against his chest, needing to feel him more than anything
else.
“I don’t know, Doodle,” he lied.
God! It was such a fucking lie. He knew
as well as I did. He just didn’t want to tell me.
“Where did you go?” I pressed
further.
There was no way I ever could have
expected his answer, but that wasn’t because it was a novel
thought. No. His answer was surprising because it was the source of
my anguish too.
“The real world.” He kissed my
forehead.
Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her four young children. Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person. She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.
