Run With Me
Page 25
Months pass and I study hard before starting my new journey. Soon I'm so invested in it all that I have days where Colt doesn't enter my mind, although he still appears in my dreams night after night. I still visit the beach each day, though, just to feel the sand between my toes and the sun on the back of my neck. To smell the sea air and watch the ocean rise and fall. To get reassurance that the tides change everyday, and that everything will be OK for me eventually.
It's been 4 months now since I left LA, and I've just started my new course. I enjoy it, but it's challenging. The people are great, and I've even managed to make a few new friends already. There's also a young trainee doctor who seems keen on asking me on a date. He's cute and persistent, so eventually I relent. He takes me for dinner and we talk about him mainly. When he asks about me I still find it hard lying, and almost slip up once or twice. I guess I'm going to have to return to my notes and build a more convincing back story for myself.
When we're done he kisses me on the cheek, but nothing more. He's a real gentleman and offers to drive me home, but it's only a short walk to I say goodbye outside the restaurant. I go straight to the beach and return to the sand which has become such a comfort for me. I slip my toes beneath the grains and gaze out over the moonlit ocean.
Then I hear a voice behind me.
“Kitty,” the man says, and I freeze. I haven't heard anyone use that name in months, not since I turned my back on my old life. I expect to hear the click of a gun and the feel of a warm bullet inside me, but nothing happens.
The man speaks again, and his voice is slightly louder this time, slightly clearer against the rolling sound of the waves. “I suppose I should learn to call you Sarah.”
Now I'm turning around and staring at a silhouette against the night sky. I see the contours of his body, the broad shoulders and neat hair, the shining blue of his eyes. Then his mouth begins to glow white as a smile spreads across his face and he moves forward towards me.
I stand as he approaches, thinking I'm seeing a ghost. Then I see him, all of him, burst into light as he gets close. The man who was sent to hunt me. The man who saved me. The man I love. Colt.
