RAMSEY
I would have slammed the door if it weren’t for Amber. I didn’t want her to know I was there so late. Hearing her get her hopes up about me moving back in was great, but knowing I’d crush it in one move kept me from doing anything other than silently leaving the house.
She wasn’t the only one who’d be crushed. I was destroyed. The icy air and the overflowing sidewalks forced me to ignore the pain in my chest and focus on getting to my SUV. More snow fell in the few hours I was there, and my car was covered. I wasn’t interested in sticking around to see if Melody would come out and try to stop me from leaving. She’d already disappointed me once, and this time, I didn’t want her coming after me.
I cranked up the SUV and prayed the windshield wipers would get enough of the snow
