A conversation I

A bargain I had no

A promise I
couldn’t break, no matter the consequences.
It cost me what I
love most.
Her.
I know Eden thinks
it’s all my fault.
And it is.
But it’s hers,
too. Because she ran, vanished, before I had a chance to explain.
Before I had a
chance to tell her the one thing that could’ve saved us.
Now she’s back and
I’m determined to make up for all the years we lost.
Determined to win
back the woman who’s always been mine...
Consequences
be damned.

RETURNING TO EDEN
Katy Ames
I
blame it on jet-lag. On lack of sleep and food. On grief. On the simple fact
that I’m back in this goddamn town, facing down all these tired ghosts. Any or
all explain why I’m seeing things.
Seeing
him.
For
a split second my memory supplies a snapshot of the boy I grew up loving. I see
the curl of hair on his neck, that one that would never straighten, no matter
how many times he smoothed it. I glimpse his newly-muscled shoulders, too broad
for his teenage body and the reason why his arms hung slightly away from his
sides. And there’s the shadow of stubble dancing around his mobile lips, the
ones I dreamed about for more years than I dare count. The image is so clear,
so perfect, so forbidden, I have to haul in a breath. And, God help me, I swear
I catch a hint of grass and sun-baked sweat and sweet summer air.
My
knees buckle under the sheer joy that memory evokes. But it’s the realization
that it’s a mirage, a long-lost dream, that almost sends me crashing to the
sidewalk.
That
boy is long gone. As is the girl who worshiped him. Here, now, we’re just two people
in the same place.
Eyes
wide, lungs tight, I watch Jude, all long limbs and powerful body, stride
across the gallery before stopping in the center. His back is towards me, his
head turned as he scans the photographs lining the wall.
It
doesn’t matter how many times I blink or how many times I curse, he doesn’t
disappear. A battle blazes to life inside me. One of foolish hope and familiar
despair. My feet demand I leave as fast as possible. But my traitorous fingers
beg to get closer, to slip into that thick mahogany hair, longer than it once
was, and see if it’s as soft as it used to be.
However
fierce a fight my body is waging, my mind is unhelpfully blank. A problem, I
realize, when Jude begins to turn towards me and I have only seconds to decide
if I’m going to flee. Or if I’m going to stay and face the man who made me run
away from home.
About Katy Ames:
Katy Ames has
spent most of her life on the East Coast and hopes to spend more of it in the
UK, primarily so she can indulge in her serious plaid obsession. There isn’t a
teenage drama or a period British TV show she hasn’t binge-watched at least
twice. And she can be persuaded to do almost anything with the promise of
bourbon, chocolate, or a nap (not necessarily in that order).
Katy is mom to a
small human who has an obscene amount of energy and a blissful ability to
ignore swear words, and wife to a man whose reading habits are way too serious.
Katy and her family reside in Washington, D.C., a city she where never intended
to live and loves so much she’d be happy to talk about it for hours. Just
ask.
Katy
writes contemporary romances with heroines who aren’t afraid to be kickass,
heroes brave enough to love them, and stories that get a little messy before
they end happily ever after.
