Unbroken Hart (The Hart Family) Read Free Page B

only been a fifteen minute delay.  This was far longer.  I tried to call her, but got no response.  What if she was hurt? What if she needed something and there was no one there to take care of her?
    I waited as long as I could, but the anxiety got the better of me and I decided that I was going to her house to check on her.  I'd just entered the parking garage when my cell phone rang.  I was beyond relieved that it was Sabrina, but pissed off because she wasn't acting like herself. 
    The rest of the morning didn't pass the way that I had hoped.  Sabrina had finally explained what was going on with her, but the answer didn't make me feel any better.  If anything, it made me feel worse.  She was dancing the tango every night with some guy, spending all of her free time with him instead of me.
    The next night, Sabrina and I went to a concert.  Over burgers before the show, she'd let it slip that she had feelings for some guy.  She claimed that it wasn't the dancer, but she wouldn't tell me who it was so I had no clue.  I'd known that eventually Sabrina would wind up with somebody, but nothing prepared me for the desolation of knowing that I was really going to lose her.  She'd never really been mine to begin with, and her dating was inevitable.  She was beautiful, bright, kind and smart.  Any man would love to have her, and it was my cross to bear that someday soon, some lucky guy would.
    My week passed agonizingly slow .  I felt like she was pushing me away.  Or maybe she was just getting a life that didn’t involve me.  In either case, it made me anxious and upset.  I missed her, even though she was right there at work each day.  For the first time I seriously considered that I was really losing her.
    She'd invited me to her dancing competition, and the entire family, minus Spencer and Aunt Sandra, had shown up to watch her dance.  When she came to the floor, I lost my fucking mind.  Her sexy body was revealed far more than usual, and it pissed me off that other people were looking at her.  My knee jerk reaction pretty much exploded from me before I could stop it.  "Jesus fucking Christ, is she fucking kidding with that outfit?"
    The entire family was shocked, but I could barely contain myself.  I watched her dance almost like I was in another world.  Dimly I realized that she had incredible talent, not that I was surprised.  Rina's movements had indicated to me a long time ago that she had natural rhythm.  When her number ended, she looked beautiful and full of life, and my heart ached for her.  I couldn't fucking believe it when her partner kissed her, really kissed her, full on the lips in front of everyone.  She didn't push him away, and that infuriated me.
    "You've got to be fucking kidding me! Was he going to fuck her right on the floor right in front of us?"
    The rage I felt was mixed with terror. Now I knew for sure that I was going to lose her.  And worse, I knew that she'd lied to me.  She was attracted to him.  She had to be, or she would have smacked him when he kissed her.  I wasn't sure who I was more pissed off at; the dick bag little fucker that she was dancing with who'd all but pawed her in front of everyone, or myself for being so fucked up that I couldn't touch her myself. 
    The two of them walked past me on their way to the waiting area, and I felt like grabbing the asshole that had a death grip on her hand so that I could kick the shit out of him.  I knew that when Sabrina looked at me that she could see that I was upset, because her eyes widened in shock.   
    An hour passed while I waited to see her again.  I knew I looked like a total nut to our families, but I was too keyed up to pretend that everything was fine.  It really fucking wasn't.
    When I finally did see her, I behaved like a total dick.  Sabrina didn't put up with my bullshit, and she called me on it.  Watching her stomp away from me was scary as hell.  We'd never fought about anything real before,
