EXCERPT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou have feathers for brains,\u201d Sarah berated herself as Brett closed the distance between them. She accepted the hug he gave her as the impact of how deeply Ben\u2014and inadvertently she\u2014had betrayed him abruptly hit her. The realization of what she\u2019d done made her head begin to pound.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so glad you came, Sarah. I stopped by to see you earlier, but your mother said you were out, although she didn\u2019t seem to know where. I looked around town and in our usual spots but couldn\u2019t find you,\u201d Brett said, pulling back and giving her a curious glance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry. I had a busy day,\u201d she said. It had been busy. Sneaking around, being deceived, and making the biggest mistake of her life had taken the entire day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brett offered her a smile of such tender warmth, she wanted to burst into tears and confess what had happened. Only she couldn\u2019t. It would ruin the trip, if not cancel it, and Brett had been excited about spending the summer with his grandparents. There would be time enough to sort out all the complicated details when the twins returned in August.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three months away from Ben might be long enough for her raging wrath to reach a simmering point instead of teetering on the edge of it boiling over at any second.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t let you leave without saying goodbye. I hope you<\/em>,\u201d she emphasized the word and cast a withering glare at Ben before looking back at Brett, \u201cenjoy your time with your grandparents this summer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A shadow passed over Brett\u2019s face, but it was there and gone so quickly, she began to wonder if she\u2019d simply imagined it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure we will. I hope you have a wonderful summer, Sarah Beth.\u201d Brett was the only one who called her that, and every time he said it, her insides felt warm. He leaned down and placed his lips close to Sarah\u2019s ear, making her heart pound in her chest. \u201cNo matter what happens, don\u2019t ever forget how much I love you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t. Remember I love you, Brett,\u201d she said, speaking around the sudden tightness in her throat. How could she profess her love to him after what she\u2019d done with Ben? If a bolt of lightning shot out of the sky to strike her down where she stood, she knew she deserved it.<\/span><\/p>\n
