Once she had finished helping with the handmade goods, she made her way over to where her sister was talking with another man in a leather jacket.Eden recognized him as Doc, the leader of the Chaos Monsters MC.The moment Maeve saw her, she waved and made her way over.
“This is my sister,” Maeve said.
“I know who she is.How are you doing, Eden?”he asked.
“I’m good.You?”
He nodded his head.Doc had never been a man of many words, and she turned toward her sister, offering her a smile.
“Is everything okay?You need help packing up?”
“I’m pretty much done.Hopefully, tomorrow is not as busy.”Maeve stretched her neck from side to side.
“The kids were eating out of the palm of your hand,” Doc said.
Maeve beamed.“Well, I aim to please.”She gave a little bow, then stood.“I am beat.Are you ready to head home?”
Eden opened her mouth and then closed it, because Mac made his way over, silencing any response.
“Can I talk to you?”Mac asked.
Maeve’s eyes had gone deadly.She looked like she wanted to kick him in the balls and not stop.
“It’s fine,” Eden said.“Razor’s coming to get me, and we’re going to stick around the fair a little longer.”
“Let me help you with your bags,” Doc said.
Maeve smiled at him, but her sister’s glare was directed at Mac.She held two fingers to her own eyes and then pointed them out at Mac before moving on with her bags.
Eden licked her dry lips, turned to look at Mac, and she felt absolutely nothing.There was no sadness, no anger, just a blank feeling.Did this truly mean he meant nothing to her all this time?She didn’t know if that was a good thing.
She’d been upset on Valentine’s Day, but unlike her sister who would have jumped out and started beating down on the two, she stayed silent in the bathroom, hoping they would leave or give her some way to make her escape.Razor had been the one to help her.
“What’s up?”she asked.
“What’s up?That’s all you’ve got to say to me?”
He sounded hurt and Eden looked him in the eye.“What do you want me to say?”
“Look, I know I fucked up, and I know you seem to be seeing Razor now.”
“That’s none of your business.”
“I just ...it meant nothing.”
She frowned.“Okay.”
“Damn it, Eden, you’re not even listening to me.”
“I am listening to you, Mac, but here’s the thing, I don’t care.I had to learn today that yours and Hilary’s little sexcapade, or whatever it was, was known by most of the town, if not all of it.I know she wasn’t the only woman you’ve slept with.I also know you don’t care.Why did you even date me?”she asked.
Mac stared at her.There was no answer.
She couldn’t help laughing.
“You don’t even have a clue why you dated me?”she asked.
“You’re a lot of fun, and you’re cute, and you’re funny—”
