expected? Him trying to win you back?”
     
    “He said he doesn't want me back, Cole.”
    Cole's head shot around to face her.
    “Keep your eyes on the road. You want to get us killed?” Lacey exclaimed.
    “I'm sorry. Keep going. What else did he say?”
    “A lot of things. He told me how you manipulated his wife into thinking he was some kind of creep so she would leave him for you. Then you go and break her heart?”
     
    “Lacey, that's not how it was. Didn't I tell you he'd come and lie to you? Didn't I? You know me better than anyone, Lacey.”
     
    “Do I?”
    “What, you think he's telling the truth?”
    “I don't know. No, I guess not. You know I can't stand being in the middle of all of this. I suppose when he said he didn't want me, that was true enough. He's made that pretty clear, the way he treated me. But...”
     
    “But what?”
     
    “He tells it so convincingly. He made you out to be a monster. I couldn't handle it if I knew any of this was true.”
     
    “And you think I would ask you to marry me if I didn't love you?”
     
    “Of course not.”
     
    “You've seen my parents, Lacey. That's what I want, for us to last, like them. Their relationship was built on trust. I have to know you trust me. I can't get burned again the way my so called best friend burned me. If you want to believe him then you just say and I'll walk away now, Lacey.”
     
    “I don't want that. I know you love me. You've proven yourself. But I had to let you know what Nate said.”
     
    “That damn Nate Horwood. I hate him.”
     
    Cole's foot pressed harder on the accelerator. His hands gripped the steering wheel tighter until Lacey could see the knuckles of his hands turn white. She said nothing at first, watching Cole's car overtaking every other car on the road, weaving in and out of the lanes to get ahead of them all.
     
    The scene outside the car window zipped by her faster and faster still. Lacey's foot pressed the floor of the car, feeling for invisible brakes.
     
    “Cole,” she said quietly. “Cole.” A little louder this time. “Cole you need to slow down...Cole! Slow down!”
     
    Her words didn't seem to filter into his ears because he was gaining on the car in front of him and not looking like he was going to overtake but as if he wanted to go straight into the back of it.
    Closer and closer until Lacey threw out an arm and pressed Cole's chest.
     
    “Slow down! Cole, what are trying to do to us?” She shouted at the top of her voice.
     
    He hit the brakes, swerving to overtake the car and then turning sharply into a side road, eventually bringing the car to normal speed.
     
    “Jesus, Cole. You had me scared.”
     
    “I'm sorry, my mind was working overtime.” He turned to look at her. “If he comes round again, you call straight away, you hear?”
     
    “Yes, now just concentrate on the road, please.”
    “All I ask for is trust, Lacey,” his voice was calm. “That's all I ask of you. Trust and honesty.”
    “Me, too, Cole. Me, too.”
    “I'm sorry about that, Lacey.” He put a hand on her thigh. “I guess I'm getting stressed about the wedding, too. I didn't mean to frighten you. I'm sorry. I promise I'll make it up to you.”
     
    They continued the journey in silence.
     

Chapter5
     
    “Are you sure you didn't want me to invite a few more ladies for our bachelorette night, Lacey? Three bachelorettes are going to make for a pretty dull evening.” Elaine was in the living room putting on an extra coat of lipstick.
     
    “This is all I wanted, Elaine. A nice drink, a meal with people I know, not some rent a crowd bunch of your loud friends, screaming, getting drunk and, God forbid, a male stripper turning up on the scene.” Lacey raised an eyebrow as she watched Elaine tuck her lipstick into her purse and zip it up.
     
    “You are absolutely no fun at all these days. And what is this Ali Russell like? Why invite your ex-boss?”
     
    “Because she's a really nice person,”
