I drove back to the ranch like a mad woman. A happy mad woman.
My chest was bursting with excitement and anticipation. I couldn’t wait to get to the ranch, do whatever I had to do, and leave.
Leo’s plan probably wasn’t the best, but it was all we had, and honestly, I didn’t know if I could wait any longer for a better one. I couldn’t even look at Eric anymore. I had to break free now or I would be the one drowning.
I stopped my car in the parking lot and ran out, leaving the keys in the ignition and the door open. As I jogged to the stable, I looked around. Even though I wouldn’t be gone for more than a week or so—at least, I hoped I wouldn’t. One week was enough to dissuade Eric and tell the club or the police about who he really was, right?—I knew I would miss this place.
