Chapter 128

TREY WANTED TO ESCAPE. The town he loved felt like a prison without the woman it represented. He knew a single phone call would have his chopper ready to go. In an hour, he could be leaving the tarmac of the Lawley airport on his jet, headed back to Denver or to London or any number of his other ventures. He had business all over the world, projects that could and probably should demand his attention. He could get back to real life and away from this dream that had turned into a nightmare.

But throwing himself into his work to avoid his marriage was something he'd done before. He couldn't leave without talking to Sandy. They had to resolve things, one way or the other. He had a feeling the resolution would be dissolution - whether he liked it or not. Because as much as he wanted to give her the world, it was not in his power to be the guy who stood aside. That wasn't who he was and wasn't someone he was willing to become. Not even for her.
