The Runaway Groom
James had an idea of what Mick wanted to say, and so, he spoke first. “I’m convinced that time mends,
and that Erin would eventually forget the trauma in the days to come. I don’t believe that she’d be
hurting forever, and I want to stay with her in the long run. You have nothing to worry about—you can
entrust her to me, and I promise to make her happy for the rest of her life.”
Mick was going to ask James just that, and hence, he switched gears. “She still needs time to calm
down. Give her some space.”
“I just wanted to see her,” James said, nodding. “I didn’t expect her to react that badly.”
“She’s calm around us, but she can’t do it around you,” Mick explained. “That means she cares about
you—what you think and how you’d feel. That’s why she would lose control, so please understand her.”
“I know.” James certainly understood and therefore did not take offense.
Mick then asked, “Where are you staying? I have another house, you could—”
“At Swiz Hotel,” James replied. “I took leave but I’m still on the job and might leave anytime. You
needn’t bother—a hotel is just fine.”
Mick nodded. “Just contact me if there’s anything you need.”
“I will,” James replied, and he then told Mick to leave sooner since he was worried about leaving Erin
alone at home.
Mick could feel that James was serious about Erin, and was therefore glad, even treating him as family.
“Don’t worry,” Mick said. “I’ll take good care of her. Just call me if you want to find out how she’s doing.”
…
Mick found Erin sitting in the living room after he returned home, and he headed over with a smile.
“Feeling better?”
Erin had calmed down and was not agitated like before.
She flashed a chagrined smile. “I just called the office to take the day off.”
Mick got her a glass of water and sat beside her, asking softly, “Do you feel better now/”
Erin nodded, hesitating for a moment before asking, “Is he alright?”
Mick did not actually realize to whom she was referring too. “Who?”
Erin thought that Mick was doing it on purpose and she bit her lip, pouting. “Why are you messing with
me, Dad?”
“But I really don’t know what you’re talking about, darling.” Mick threw up his hands defensively.
Since Erin could not tell him that she bit James, she decided to drop it, leaving Mick speechless as she
rose to her feet.
She was the one who did not explain herself, and she was upset at him?
Catching up to her, she asked, “What did you want to ask? About James? What happened to him?”
“It’s fine, Dad,” she said with a smile. “I was just asking.”
Mick nodded, but remained skeptical.
Still, Erin stopped on the stairs for a moment and turned to look at him. “Do you know where James is
staying?”
“Swiz Hotel,” Mick quickly replied.
“Oh,” Erin murmured, and headed upstairs.
Mick thought she was going to see James just then. Why did she return to her room instead?
Was she going to meet him or not?
He was so confused…
Sighing, he just hoped that she could get over it soon and face James directly.
Even so, it was Erin herself who would decide when, and no one’s advice would mean a thing.
That was why Mick just had to protect her quietly.
After lunch, he was just emerging from his study when he saw Erin leaving the house.
He did not ask where she was going, but he had a hunch that she went looking for James.
…
In his room at Swiz Hotel, James was seated on the couch by the window.
His lunch was sitting on the table behind him, untouched.
He was spacing out and thinking, his hand resting nonchalantly on his lap.
Erin’s bite left a clear mark, and a dark-red clot had built up where her teeth sank deep since he did not
treat it.
Ding dong…
The doorbell suddenly rang, and James frowned from the abrupt disturbance, seemingly annoyed.
Still, he got up and answered the door!
