Getting Wound Up: A Sapphire Falls/Love Between the Bases Novel-- PART TWO (10 page)

Would it be better to let him keep hoping? Was hope the most important thing he could have? Or was it more cruel to let Eli continue to hope when it was hopeless? “Eli… I…” Her throat closed up tight. Both options were horrible. There was no good choice.

She saw the exact moment when he got it. When he knew she was leaving, and not just leaving for now. Leaving Kilby and their plans, leaving him, leaving
them
. He squared his shoulders, as if bracing for the blow.

She still couldn’t speak, because if she did, she would either burst out crying or change her mind and throw herself into his arms.

But because Eli was Eli, because he was the best, the only man in the world for her, he spoke first. “Take care of him,” he told her softly.

She nodded tightly. He attempted a smile, but failed miserably. The only man she’d ever loved bent to give her brother a quick hug, then left the room without looking at her again.

And Caitlyn had her answer. Hope or no hope, nothing could be worse than leaving Eli.

She’d rather get trampled by a mechanical bull.

Eli and Caitlyn’s story continues in Getting Wound Up, Part Three!
