Excerpts
âIâm okay,â I muttered to the room.
âTalking to yourself, Logan?â Izzy said from the doorway.
I spun to face her as she slipped inside and shut us in. I felt trapped, but she hadnât closed the door on purpose because she didnât know I was claustrophobic. Hell, she didnât know a tenth of the things about me thatâd make her stop and think before shutting us into this small room. She floated in on a cloud of perfume, her ivory skin flawless, every hair in place, and jewelry that would keep the garage afloat for years around her neck, in her earlobes, and weighing down her hands. Iâd never have gone out of my way to go with a high-class girl like her, but sheâd gone out of hers to find a bad boy. I couldnât even regret that night, or the joyride in a stolen car, or the arrest, or everything after that⌠because out of all of it came Cassidy.
And she was every good part of me. She was everything.
âIzzy,â I acknowledged.
âIsabel,â she corrected, and fiddled with the handle of her purse. âParker suggested that I talk to you alone before we reconsider the custody arrangementââ
âWhich was made official with a court order two years ago,â I interrupted. âSo, if weâre here to discuss me having Cassidy for more time, then I can agree to that without spending money on lawyers.â Money that I donât have.
âLogan, stop.â She held up a hand, and I saw the French-polished nailsâshe used to wear her nails longer, painted them scarlet, but this wasnât the Izzy Iâd known oh so briefly, this was the new, improved Isabel, who wanted to slot back into the world sheâd once tried to escape with her walk on the wild side. âItâs not that.â
âSo, if you donât need me to take her for more time, then what are we doing here?â
âParker has been offered a long-term role within his familyâs bank in Europe. Switzerland, to be exact.â She used words, but the rushing sound in my ears meant I couldnât string them together in any order. Panic gripped my chest. I couldnât breathe. Switzerland? That meantâŚ
They want to take Cassidy.
âNo,â I managed. âNo.â
âThink of the opportunitiesââ
âNo.â
âPlease be reasonableââ
âYouâre not taking our daughter to goddamned Switzerland.â
She winced at the harsh words, but I wasnât going to be manipulated into thinking I was wrong in my reaction. How in Godâs name would I see her? Would she fly back? Would I go there? How could I go there? Izzy was still speaking in that low, wheedling tone that reminded me of Parker, as if she had the right to stand there and rip my life apart.
