DAPHNE
You can’t do this. You’re too sick. You need me to take care of you.
I shook the thoughts out of my head. My mother had no place here. I
wasn’t that same scared, too-sick-to-do-anything girl. I was a badass. And I
was jumping off bloody Tower Bridge today.
Except when I peered over the ledge, I started to rethink my decisions.
As I stared down at the mile-long drop, my heart thudded against my ribs.
Okay, sure, I had some second thoughts. Who in their right mind thought
this was a good idea to bungee jump over the Thames River?
I was a moron. I had choices here. I could get down. I could walk away
from this.
Yes, walk away. You know how you get grand ideas, but you can’t do any
of them. You need to be taken care of.
Again, I shut my mother’s voice out of my head with a slam of a steel
door.
“Shit or get off the pot, Daphne. We don’t have all day.”
I chewed my lip, sliding a glance at my boyfriend, Christopher. “You
know it’s harder than it looks. Doing my best here.”
Christopher was handsome. Sandy blond hair, decent jawline, and he
was in shape. And boy, did he love his clothes and the trappings of his job.
His killer smile was legendary.
However that smile was nowhere to be seen now. Right now he just
looked annoyed. He shifted restlessly on his feet. “If you’re not going to do
this, come down. This is ridiculous.”
I kept staring down over the ledge at the creek below. When I had
suggested bungee jumping, I thought it would be fun, something for
Christopher and me to do together outside of business hours.
Christopher and I worked at Baines Data. I was one of the account
managers. Any data that needed to be securely encrypted in the CRM, I
handled. We had been dating for nearly a year. But most of our dates
consisted of places that we already went to for lunch with the team. Nothing
exciting ever happened. It was like we’d gone straight into comfortable
bored married phase. I would kill for a little excitement. Some effort from
him.
Hell, I’d been the one to plan today’s date.
He never wanted to come to my place. All because he’d run into my
sister Willow one time and she’d asked him a slew of probing questions. He
was very uncomfortable about that.
If we did anything outside of work, it was always with his friends, never
with mine. And it was always the same two friends, Chad and Mark.
Occasionally one of them would have a girlfriend along, and their
girlfriends were always scarily too young. Like barely approaching twenty
or just out of uni. And come to think of it, they didn’t seem like girlfriends.
They seemed like hookups or casual things because they never brought the
same girl twice.
