\u201cYou made a very serious mistake,\u201d I said calmly.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Carter laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, Helen,\u201d he replied. \u201cYou did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I turned away without another word.<\/p>\n

Past the stunned guests.
\nPast the flower arch.
\nPast the photographer lowering his camera like he had just witnessed a crime scene.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Outside, the cold October wind hit my burning cheek harder than Carter\u2019s hand had.<\/p>\n

I reached into my purse.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Took out my phone.<\/p>\n

And called the one man Carter Whitmore never imagined I knew.<\/p>\n

The call connected on the second ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cHelen?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSheriff Dalton,\u201d I said quietly, staring through the reception hall windows. \u201cIt\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silence.<\/p>\n

Then his voice hardened instantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe hit you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd demanded the property in public?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn front of everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m on my way.\u201d<\/p>\n

I hung up calmly and slipped my phone back into my purse.<\/p>\n

Thirty seconds later, the reception doors burst open behind me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere she is,\u201d Carter sneered.<\/p>\n

He marched toward me with two groomsmen trailing behind him like backup dancers in an expensive disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think storming out makes you look dramatic?\u201d he asked. \u201cYou look unstable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen go back inside.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
