PRESENT DAY
Perhaps the word I was looking for was ironic. It seemed a harsh word and
made me feel as if I were looking at this with no emotion. That couldn’t be
further from the truth. In the past week, I had suffered from every emotion
known to man—or at least, it’d felt like it. Regardless, ironic was a good
word. One that encompassed all that had happened in the past six months.
The soft whispers, hushed voices, even crying that I could hear on the
other side of the wall I was leaning against reminded me that I should be
out there. People expected me to be. They wanted to tell me how sorry they
were, that they were praying for me, what a good man Hayes had been, and
best of all, that it was God’s plan. I, on the other hand, didn’t want to endure
listening to it. They knew nothing.
I wasn’t sure how long I could stay in this dark prayer room until
someone found me. My stepmom, Tabitha, would come looking soon
enough. She wouldn’t want me to embarrass her in front of the church.
There had been no one more thrilled than Tabitha when Hayes proposed to
me. The minister’s grandson, who would soon be a minister himself. He
was loved and respected in town. He should have been. Hayes was one of
the most genuine, kindest, warmest people I had ever known. Somehow, he
had chosen me.
The door opened, slamming against the wall, and I jumped, startled. My
gaze shot up from the handkerchief I had been twisting in my hands,
expecting to see Tabitha. My excuses were on the tip of my tongue when I
froze. That was not Tabitha.
It was a man. A very large man. A slightly terrifying man. His eyes
locked on me, and he studied me. I couldn’t tell much in the darkness other
than the silhouette of his face was masculine, defined, most likely
attractive. Not that it mattered.
“You must be the missing fiancée,” he said in a deep voice, letting the
door close behind him.
I nodded, but said nothing.
He walked over and sat down on a bench across the room. I watched him,
wanting to ask who he was and what he was doing in here. His intimidating
presence, however, kept me from speaking. He had to be at least six foot
three. The suit coat he was wearing seemed tight across his wide shoulders,
as if it were ready to rip apart if he simply flexed.
The man reached into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a flask. My
eyes went wide as he opened it and took a long drink from it. When he
lowered the flask, his eyes met mine again.
“You want a drink? Might help you face that out there,” he said, holding
it out to me.
