you know, babe, I don’t give a fuck. I begged for
that pussy once. Never do it again.”
    “Okay,”
Tess whispered, looking over Finn’s firm features for pain or regrets, and
seeing none. What a story that must be. But she shook her head trying to get back
to her mission. A room.
    “If you
give her a room, you have to give me one,” she announced.
    “Hers is
for an hour tops …” Finn paused. “No fuck, thirty minutes, not overnight.”
    “But
you’ll be here, there are chains on the door, and I have my cell to call 9-1-1.
I need a room.” He shook his head. So desperately, she whispered, “I can’t go
back to Steven.” Unwanted tears started gathering in her eyes.
    “Shit,”
Finn cussed, and Tess swallowed the lump in her throat trying to call back her
tears. She knew she’d gotten through to Finn, now she didn't want to outright
bawl in front of him.
    “Got a
room, down the hall behind me. Ready in a couple hours.”
    Tess
looked behind him down the hall. “That’s the only way to get in?” she asked,
not liking the setup.
    “Only
way you stay here, Chiquita,” Finn stated without compromise.
    Tess
sighed at least she had a place and maybe being back there behind the counter,
it would be a place no one could get to her. “I’ll pay by the week, and thank
you, Finn, really.”
    “Mistake,”
he muttered.
    “I’ll be
back in two hours,” she stated firmly.
    Tess
drove to her shop feeling too confused and emotionally blank to handle much so
she was glad her young, part time helper Shannon had opened the shop for her
that morning. After Vincent had left the condo with Luna, not stopping to say a
word to Tess upstairs, for which she was really grateful but puzzled about,
she’d thrown all her belongings into her car. They were piled haphazardly in
her backseat and trunk, and she really needed to fix them so she could put them
in the room Finn was getting her.
    But she
kept wondering why Vincent hadn’t come upstairs, and then leveled with her.
Thrown her out even. She didn’t believe he knew she’d overheard his confession
to Luna.
    I
just did Tess to get to you, Luna. Then … I
don’t fucking want her, Luna, it was a point.
    “God,
I’m such an idiot! Tess shouted inside her car as she drove. “So stupid, stupid .”
    Of
course Vincent had been using her to get back at Luna. But then why hadn’t he
called her to tell her to get out of the condo?
    “Does.
Not. Matter,” Tess ground out, glad she could feel anger because it was
overriding her hurt and devastated feelings. She wanted Vincent. God with
everything inside her, she wanted him. “That doesn’t matter,” she hissed,
shoving the feelings deep.
    She was
acting like a cracked lunatic ... she had a marriage to dissolve and get out
from under. Then she cussed really badly. Luna had both Steven and Vincent. That bitch.
    When she
pulled up to the alley behind her shop she nearly turned around seeing the blue
WTSF van parked beside her flower shop.
    “Not
today of all days,” she exclaimed. They were there to install a security
system, Vincent had made her take. “Why is he doing this?” she cried, slapping
her steering wheel.
    She
pressed forward, knowing she had too as she pulled into her parking spot,
praying Vincent had nothing to do with being in that van. Just then her cell
rang, and she grabbed it — squinting at the cell phone hard when she saw
Vincent’s name.
    She muttered
angrily, punching receive call, then without waiting she spat, “I do not want your security system. Get them the freak out of here!”
    Silence.
    “I won’t
accept it. Ever!” she yelled. It was a suppressed yell, but still a yell.
    Silence
… and then... “You fucking heard,” Vincent’s voice retorted harshly.
    “Yes!”
she shouted, then she punched off, hanging up on him.
    A knock
sounded on the driver’s side car window and Tess practically jumped high enough
to hit her head on the roof. Finally catching a startled breath, her gaze
