Excerpt:
“So when’s the owner
usually get in?” He directed his attention to me as Zoey admired the numerous
awards that lined all the shelves to the right of my desk.
“You’re looking at her,”
I said shyly. I’m sure the last thing he was expecting to hear was that the
girl who flipped out on him was the same girl who would be teaching his sister
dance.
“Oh,” he replied, arching
an eyebrow at me.
“Hey, Zoey, how about you
go do some stretches before the others get here. Okay?” Talon directed his
little sister.
“Okay,” she replied and
skipped out of the room.
“You really should put
some ice on that,” I suggested as I pointed to his jaw.
“Has anyone ever told you
that you have a mean right hook?” He laughed as his humor danced within his
dark eyes.
“I really am sorry.” A
few giggles escaped me before we both fell into an uncomfortable silence.
“So…” He rubbed his hand
down the back of his neck again. It wasn’t hard to notice that he would do that
when his nerves were getting the best of him. It’s a tell-tale sign.
“So…” I mocked him.
“Do you always do that
when someone scares you?”
My heart rate spiked
through the roof at his question. I hadn’t talked to anyone about my crazy
shit, except the counselor I attempted to see, and Adalynn. I took a few deep
breaths to try and slow my heart rate so I didn’t flip the hell out in front of
Talon again. I’m sure if I did he would take Zoey and run as far away from my
place as possible.
“Umm…Not always,” I
lied…flat out lied to his face, but in the smallest way possible.
“You might be able to
convince someone else with that answer, but not me.” He tapped his finger on
the desk, pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, and slid it over to me
before walking out of my office and taking a seat in the area designated for
family members.
I sat there in complete silence, staring at the check
that paid for Zoey’s full semester at Graceful Moves, but it wasn’t the amount
of the check that had me baffled, it was the way Talon could see right through
the wall of bullshit that I had built around myself so people wouldn’t see the
real me. I was the last person anyone would want their child around after all
the shit I’d been through. Life had dealt me an outstanding hand, just to turn
around and set it ablaze. Yet there I was, trying to gather up all of the ashes
in hopes of building something just as good as what I’d had before.
