Catch Me When I Fall (Catch Me Duet #1)

Chapter 16

One month later. Astoria, OR.

I paced back and forth in my bedroom, waiting.

All month, I’d been waiting, but now, anxiety was filling me.

He hadn’t come back, and I was holding on to the foolish dream that he would tonight. Between his last visit and his first, it had been almost a month. Now, I was hoping it was the start of a beautiful pattern.

I stayed in the living room until the moon was high in the sky. Then, I took a long shower, hoping he’d be where I found him last by the time I got out.

He wasn’t there.

Tear stung my eyes as I climbed into bed, and I stayed up as long as I could.

My bounty hunter never showed.
