My Leesy hadn’t changed at all.
Watching her lying in bed with her chest gently rising and falling in
sleep and her hair fanning out across the crisp white of the pillow reminded
me of her at eighteen, except her face wasn’t bruised before, and her body
wasn’t broken.
Back then, I wouldn’t have allowed anything to touch her because she
was mine, and I protected her with everything I had. Laying my life down
for Elise would’ve been my honor. If I were honest with myself, it still
would be, because, in my heart, she was mine.
She always had been.
You see, Stone men loved hard, fast, and forever.
I’d loved another, but that love consisted of respect and mutual
understanding. Elise was the only woman I ever gave my heart and soul to.
The other woman in my life showed me beauty and gave me everything,
and it probably saved me at the time, but underneath it all, Elise had always
been there. It was why my marriage fell apart and why my other love found
what I couldn’t give her with another man.
I didn’t blame her one bit. In fact, I wanted it for her. Adele was a good
woman, a great ol’ lady, and a wonderful mother. She supported me for
longer than she probably should’ve. She deserved happiness, even if I
couldn’t be the one to give it to her.
The woman lying in the bed before me, all bruised and battered, had
always been my ‘one.’ It wasn’t something I wanted; if anything, it had
been a curse, but it was just the way it was for me. Elise Bell was as much a
part of me as my blood and bones.
A sound from the door pulled me from my thoughts. I looked up to
watch Sophie quietly enter the room.
She shot me a smile, ever the capable, confident doctor. “How’s she
doing?”
My stare involuntarily slid back to Elise. “No change.”
“It’s good she’s sleeping,” Soph assured me. It will help her heal. When
she wakes up, she’ll be in pain from her injuries. The longer we can keep
her under, the easier it will be for her.”
“It’s been days,” I pointed out.
“It has,” she agreed. “But it’s been the meds keeping her asleep, not her
injuries. They’re beginning to leave her system now, so I suspect she’ll start
coming around tomorrow.”
My heart jerked at that fucking thought.
While Elise was asleep, at least I could pretend nothing had changed. It
was easier to carry on with the knowledge that everything could stay as it
was, and that, over the years, she hadn’t committed the biggest betrayal of
all by keeping the most important thing in existence from me.
My girl.
The problem was that my heart already knew what my head didn’t
wanna admit. I could see the truth in the almond-shaped slant of Sophie’s
eyes, which now I noticed were just like her mother’s. Still, the color was
all mine—a light, golden brown that, in a particular light, could pass as
amber.
