Excerpt
I had set
my alarm clock so I could get up early in
the morning, to head off to the cottage. Turning off the light and lying down,
I snuggled under the covers.
I was just
nodding off when I heard ringing. I hit
the alarm clock, but the noise didn’t stop. Blinking, it dawned on me that it
wasn’t the clock, it was the phone. I jumped up
and answered it before the machine did.
“Kat?” the
voice on the other end said.
“Yes?” I
didn’t recognize the voice. Who would be calling at this time of night?
“It’s me,
Sam.”
“Oh, hi,” I
said, my voice flat.
What does he want?
“I was
wondering, do you want to go out on Monday evening?”
“Oh, no, I
don’t think so.” I tried to think of an excuse.
He went quiet,
then asked, “Why not?”
“I don’t
think it’s a good idea.”
As the
words left my mouth, I realized I
shouldn’t have said them. I should have thought of something better. I didn’t
know what else to say.
“Oh, so
that’s it? You don’t want to see me again, do you?” I could hear the attitude in his voice.
“No. I
think we should call it a day.” The phone went quiet.
“Sam?”
“That’s
about right, you bitch!”
I froze,
stunned.
“You lead
me on and then dump me, you whore.”
I couldn’t
believe what I was hearing. My God, where was the caring man from earlier? The one who had given me his jacket.
I slammed
the phone down. As I did, I could hear
him shouting and swearing at me. I couldn’t believe my ears.
Wow! I certainly had a narrow escape with him. I’m
glad I didn’t tell him in person.
I was
angry, annoyed that I hadn’t retaliated.
He was so nice. Who would have thought he could
turn so nasty? Just wait until I get my hands on Jonathan. I’ll wring his bloody neck. What was he thinking,
introducing me to a lunatic?
I made sure
all the windows and doors were locked and finally went to bed.
I dreamt
about the man on the rock. It was different this time.
The nameless vision of masculine beauty watched the water bubble and swirl as it flowed past him.
He turned his head in my direction and smiled. There
was something wrong with his eyes. They were not the beautiful blue eyes I loved so much. They were
yellow! He glanced back at the stream and my gaze followed his. I looked back
to where he stood and took a step forward. He
wasn’t there! My heart sank.
Where had he gone?
I scanned the area but he was nowhere to be seen. I heard a noise above me and saw a large bird flying high in the sky.
It swooped toward the stream and took off into the woods. Where did he go? He
was there one minute and gone the next. I
had just plucked the courage up to speak to him and he’d disappeared.
Damn it!
