style="font-size:15px;">      “I just have to. I’m sorry.”

      Silence buzzed over the open line and she wondered what Lance was thinking. No matter how well she’d come to know him over the last week, he was still an enigma to her.

      And she realized that he probably always would be. That was part of what had made her fall in love with him to begin with. There were secrets and pain in Lance Brody’s eyes and those very things had drawn her to him.

      No matter what she did she had a feeling she was always going to love him.

      “Goodbye, Lance.”

      He cursed under his breath. “Are you quitting Brody Oil and Gas, as well as quitting me?”

      “Yes. I am. I won’t be coming back to the office at all. In fact, I need to get away from Houston.”

      “You do that,” he said. “Run away if you think that will help. But to be honest, I don’t believe it will.”

      “How would you know?”

      Lance didn’t strike her as a man who’d run away from anything.

      “My mother did it and I don’t think she was any happier after she left us.”

      Lance hung up before she could say anything else. Kate was faced with the fact that she’d hurt Lance more deeply than she’d imagined she could. But she couldn’t keep putting him first. She needed to take care of her heart, which felt as if it had been broken in two.

       Ten

      Figuring that this evening wasn’t going to get any better, Lance put a call in to Lexi. He got her voice mail and even he knew better than to break an engagement via a message, so he simply asked her to call him back.

      He didn’t want to go home or to the office. Those two places were haunted by Kate even in his mind. Instead he drove to the Texas Cattleman’s Club. Drinking with his buddies was exactly what he needed.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
