SUMMARY:
The Edge of Always is the second book in her heart-renching series about two 20-somethings who find each other in their darkest moment. Camryn Bennett has never been happier. Five months after meeting on a Greyhound bus, she and her soul mate Andrew Parrish are engaged-and a wedding isn't the only special event in their future. Nervous but excited, Camryn can't wait to begin the rest of her life with Andrew, a man she knows in her heart will love her always. They have so much to look forward to-until tragedy blindsides them. Andrew doesn't understand how this could happen to them. He's trying to move on, and thought Camryn was doing the same. But when Andrew discovers Camryn is secretly harboring a mountain of pain and attempting to numb it in damaging ways, there is nothing he won't do to bring her back to life. Determined to prove that their love can survive anything, Andrew decides to take Camryn on a new journey filled with hope and passion. If only he can convince her to come along for the ride...
“This isn’t
up for debate,” he says. “Go get your stuff.”
I just look
at him, face blank.
My theory was
right, but I didn’t want it to be. I don’t want to go on the road…I mean, I do…but it’s not right. It’s just not right.
“You have
four minutes now.”
“But we can’t
just leave like this,” I argue. “It would be rude.” I point at Asher. “And
Asher just got here. Don’t you want to visit with—”
“I can visit
my big brother anytime,” Asher counters. “Right now, I think you better do what
he says or you might end up on the road wearing the same panties for a week.”
A few more
seconds pass and I still haven’t moved. I’m in a state of mild shock, I guess.
“Three
minutes, babe,” Andrew says and is looking at me with a serious face. “I’m not
kidding. Get up there, throw our shit in our bags, and get in the damn car.”
Oh hell, he’s back to his old self again…
When I start
to argue again, Andrew’s eyes get all feral-looking, and he says, “Hurry up.
Time’s running out!” and he points to the house.
Finally,
letting down my guard and going with the moment as much as I can allow myself,
I glare at him and say, “Fine.” I’m only agreeing to it because I know he’s
trying make things better. But I feel guilty as hell.
Disregarding
his playful five-minute demand, I turn on my heels and walk very slowly back
toward the house, purposely taking my time, partly my way of silently arguing
the situation.
I push open
the bedroom door, set my bag on the bed, and start stuffing everything inside
of it. Then I go into the bathroom and grab our toothbrushes and various
bathroom necessities. I yank our phone chargers from the wall and then my phone
from the nightstand and chuck it all into my purse. I make my way around the
room, hoping that I’m not missing anything.
Looks like
Andrew already packed his stuff at some point and I never noticed.
Then I just
stand here, scanning every inch of the place around me but not really seeing
any of it. I don’t want to do this, but maybe it’s the right thing.
I hear the horn honk three times,
and it snaps me out of my thoughts. Grabbing my bag, I swing it over my
shoulder and grab my purse from the bed.

I am almost done with this book. I couldn't wait for it so I am so happy to revisit Cam & Andrew.
ReplyDeletethe only real issue I have is that I think Andrew's treatment of Natalie is unfair.
I love this story and I am excited to be reading it. I hope to finish it after dinner
