Chapter 40: The End Of A Cowboy

...AUSTIN POV...

Is this the call that we all have been waiting for? There is a coldness of pure dread that suffocates my heart. Even though every ounce is telling me, run away and don't look back. There is that tiny piece that lays locked up in the very deepest depths of my heart where I have placed my feelings for Summer. I do not want to scratch that layer open.

But I just need to know; I shall not ever be able to live with myself if I do not hear the news on the other side of this call. As my voice tremble out of fear, but most of all hurt, I take a deep breath and pull my truck onto the side of the road.

"Catalina, what is wrong?"

"Summer, she is awake. She woke up twenty minutes ago. You must come."

"What about Damian?"

"Austin, I do not know what is going on between her and that man. But I know that she will be happy to see you."
