Nor could I get myself together to face my ex-fiancé and his new girlfriend.

I’m not coming home right now.

What the fuck are you talking about? Why not?

A cry escaped my lips, and I let it out. I lay on my tear-soaked pillow, wondering what the hell I was going to do with my life, and I responded with the only thing I could.

I told him the truth.

I’m frozen.

And I let myself sleep because it was the only time that my aching heart found a reprieve.

I’d landedat Heathrow Airport and took a car to Reese’s place. She really hadn’t gotten on that plane yesterday, and everyone was worried about her back home. So, I’d tossed some clothes into a duffle and jumped on the first flight I could.

I’d visited her four times over the last year, and she’d come to my opening whenBig Sky Ranchpremiered.

Her ex-fiancé,Carl “The Shit-Turd” Barley,hadn’t come one time to see her.

He’d been too busy pouting because she’d left, and then he’d grown impatient and jumped in the sack with the one woman he knew would hurt her the most.

Reese was so hell-bent on marrying the dude, and every time I’d pressed her about it, she had the same answer.

I’ve invested more than a decade with him.

So the fuck what?

He’s an asshole, and he didn’t deserve her.

So, I was going to get her and bring her home.

“You look familiar,” the dude driving me said with his English accent, making it sound far more formal than it should.

“Do I?” I chuckled.

“You’re that bloke fromBig Sky Ranch,aren’t you?”

“I am. Yes. Thanks for watching.”

He pulled up in front of Reese’s building.

“Ahh… this is amazing. And you snogged that costar of yours, didn’t you?” He barked out a laugh, and I winced internally. This was what I was known for now.

Snogging Jessica Carson.

Which never even happened.

“No comment,” I said, reaching for my duffle bag before handing him cash for the ride.

“Listen, everyone knows it’s a bunch of rubbish. She’s a dodgy bird, isn’t she?”

I chuckled. “I think calling her a dodgy bird is probably accurate, even if I don’t know for sure what that means.”
