His Reverie (35 page)
Slowly I shake my head, keeping my lips shut.
“Fine. We’ll talk at the station,” the mean one states as the other starts up the car. “And let me just give you a warning. It’s not looking so good for you, Fairfield. Your ex lying dead in front of her door the same night she was supposed to meet with you. We know you two were having problems and fighting all the time. Her dad gave us all the dirty details. Said you two were together.”
I just bet he did. Made up a few lies too I’m sure. I swallow hard and turn my head to the side, watching as the car backs up close to the garage before the cop puts the car into drive and starts down the driveway.
Once again I’m going to pay for someone else’s sins. And if it comes down to it, I
will
pay only to protect her. I’m not letting Reverie get involved in this. Someone killed Krista and it sure as hell wasn’t me. Reverie could be in danger. Whatever happened, I need to put myself as far away from Reverie as possible. I’m doing this because I love her, not that she’d understand.
I’m toxic. Bad luck. No good. Just like I told her, time and again.
Getting arrested may be the only way I’ll be able to stay away from her. She’ll leave town soon with her family and go back to her normal life. She’ll escape this mess untouched. I don’t want her involved. I’ll find another alibi. The cops have zero evidence. They can’t prove I did it because I didn’t.
And then I’ll go on with my life. Without her.
No matter how much it hurts.
No matter how badly I’ll miss her.
My everything.
My Reverie.

Dear Reader,
Thank you so much for reading HIS REVERIE. I hope you enjoyed this first installment of Nick and Reverie's story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've wanted to write a book that was mostly in the boy's point of view for a long time and I loved being in Nick's head.
If you have the time, I'd really appreciate it if you left a review on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks or Goodreads. Or you can send me an
email
- I always do my best to answer all email and I love hearing from readers.
And don't fear (I know, I know, you probably want to smack me for that cliffhanger ending) - HIS DESTINY, the conclusion to Nick and Reverie's story, will be out August 25th!
