* * * Cali * * *
Cade scooted very close. I wondered if he could hear how loud my heart was beating. I stared into the vast ocean. So much of the mysterious oceans depths were unknown, and that is exactly how I felt. Cade’s and my relationship hung in the balance. How could we sort this out to decide our future when I couldn’t even bear to look at him? Time was a ticking bomb, with less than five days to decide our fate. Silence engulfed us for what seemed an infinity. I felt Cade’s penetrating gaze, but I still couldn’t face him. Why was I so scared?
“Cali, please.… Can’t you even look at me?”
He squeezed my hand, and I almost broke. Reluctant, I gazed into his questioning mercuries. “I … don’t know where to begin.” He leaned in swiftly, capturing my lips. Stunned, I kissed him briefly. I pulled back before my emotions consumed me.
“I’ve missed you so much. I have been angry … confused. None of that matters now, after seeing you in the flesh. I love you so much.”
Was I letting my anger rule, because things mattered to me? Or maybe my heart was conflicted.
“Say something, Cali. You’re scaring me.”
“We have a lot to discuss,” was all I could muster, trying to hold my tears at bay.
“You’re right. But we have the rest of our lives to make things right with each other.” My heart contracted. He held my hand tighter. “Don’t you still want to be with me?”
Avoiding his question, I mentioned other threatening problems that loomed with danger. “There are issues,” I lowered my voice. “Insane things have happened.” I scanned the area, paranoid. “We’ll have to discuss them once we reach shore.”
He eyed me curiously. “We can’t talk about them now?” I shook my head quickly. “It’s best to discuss them later.”
“Okay. Our relationship’s what’s most important.”
If only he had an inkling into the Regime’s vicious game. A tight lid had to be kept on the situation, until it was safe to explain. Taking a deep breath, I gathered my courage. “I’ve been tormenting myself, trying to figure out why you chose Catalina, since you connected with her most. They showed that preview of you picking her, so I didn’t know what to think.”
“I wasn’t sure how you felt, either. I was scared that he’d take you away from me.”
Cutting to the chase, I blurted, “Kincade, I need to know the truth. So do you. We can’t move forward until then. Pretending will only make matters worse in the long run.” His Adam’s apple bobbed. “The cameras didn’t create illusions of what we’ve done. Did you have sex with Catalina?”
For the first time, he looked away from me. My answer lingered in his reaction, but I wanted to hear him say it.
