Emme
Ford loves her job as a bar promoter. She runs in the same circles as musicians
and socialites, getting paid to party with them. She’s content with life just
the way it is, and she has no interest in marriage, kids, or growing up. But
what happens when the party’s over?
Axel
Jones wants to marry Emme, but she denied his proposal. They both pretend it
didn’t affect their relationship, but it did. A wedge divides them, and now
they’re stuck in a stalemate. What do you do when one person wants more and the
other doesn’t?
“I just wanted to
come here to talk.” He finally looks up at me and tugs on his hair again before
running a hand over his beard. “I’m frustrated, Emme.”
“I know you are,” I
say softly. “But I’ve made it clear what I need.”
“Yes, you have, but
what about what I need?”
He’s right, and I
know that. He’s got needs that are different from mine, and his aren’t being
met in this relationship.
I don’t answer,
because I don’t actually have an answer for that.
“We’re stuck, Ems.
We’re at an impasse. A stalemate. What do you do when only one person wants
more?”
“You wait.” My
voice comes out with more vehemence than I intend, and I suppose that’s maybe
the first real sign of emotion Axel’s heard from me in a while.
“What if I don’t
want to wait?”
I glance away from
him, because something deep in my heart knew where this was leading. “Then we
have some decisions to make, I guess.” I say it softly because it’s not what I
want. I don’t want to end things with Axel.
“I think we do.”
His voice is quiet, too.
