Author: Trisha Madley
Genre: Romance Suspense
Nora’s POV
I open my eyes and stare at beautiful, peaceful Jase Madsyn. I wonder when he got in tonight, but I also want to know where the hell he went. I inhale the smell of cigarettes and cheap whiskey, and I’m sure he didn’t take his mother to a bar tonight. What was he doing? I knew I should have called to check on him, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Jase rolls to face me, bringing with him the stronger scent of cigarettes.
The suffocating smell takes me back to the night Isaac took me from the election party. I remember his dead, dark eyes and the pungent smell of burning paper the most. Jase knows that, so I don’t understand why he would come home smelling that way. The memories come rushing back—the way his hoarse voice spoke of his so-called love for me and hatred for Jase.
I try to use the techniques my therapist taught me—breathing in and exhaling out, changing my thoughts to those of peaceful waters—but nothing calms me. The smell is so strong. My body tingles like I'm going to jump out of my skin.
I sit up and throw the covers off me. I don't know what to do, but I know I can't lie next to Jase anymore. Uncomfortable and restless, my anxiety reaches at an all-time high. I can’t stop thinking of all the places Jase could have been. The thought of him drinking and planning a new way to get a criminal out of jail makes my skin crawl. I can’t face the truth right now. I can’t face him right now.
