WINTER

I turn back to my pan and realize I need to add flour to make the roux.

"Flour," I say to Nath.

He hands me the flour container immediately. Apparently he's been paying attention to everything I'm doing despite the tears.

I sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Is this the right amount? I have absolutely no idea. The recipes I read said "a tablespoon or two" which is the least helpful measurement in the history of cooking.

So I just keep sprinkling until it looks about right. Which is to say, until it looks like there's flour on the vegetables.

Cooking is basically just guessing with confidence, right?

Then comes the wine. This is the important part. Coq au Vin literally means chicken in wine. The wine is the star.

I grab the bottle of red wine and start pouring it into the pan.

Maybe a little too enthusiastically because it splashes everywhere. Some gets on my apron. Some gets on the counter. Some actually makes it into the pan.

"Cooking is going great," I a

  • The Goodbye He Never Saw Coming    Chapter Ninety Two

    WINTER"What?" Both Treasure and Blair exclaim at the same time, their voices loud enough that I worry they'll wake up the entire neighborhood."Nath is a fraud?" Treasure asks, her face a mixture of shock and betrayal."Keep your voice down," I hiss, glancing toward the house. "Don't wake Mom up."After I broke down and cried outside like my life was an audition for the world's most depressing reality show, Mom became so emotional that she started crying too. Remembering her health condition, the rest of us quickly got over our own emotions and focused on her instead, consoling her and making sure she took her medicine until she finally fell asleep. It took nearly an hour of gentle reassurance and Treasure humming that lullaby she used to sing when we were kids before Mom's breathing finally evened out into sleep.Afterward, Treasure and Blair immediately bombarded me with questions about what happened at the resort, and I proceeded to tell them everything. Every humiliating detail f

  • The Goodbye He Never Saw Coming    Chapter Ninety One

    WINTER It's Treasure. My baby sister stands there with her fist still raised, fury blazing in her eyes like I've never seen before. For a moment, I can't process what just happened. Can't reconcile the image of gentle, sweet Treasure with the person who just punched our father square in the face. "How dare you?" my father growls when he regains his balance, his hand going to his jaw where Treasure's fist connected. "How dare you?" Treasure yells back, and there's a strength in her voice I've never heard before. "Who the hell do you think you are, raising your hand to my sister?" "You insolent child!" Our father's face turns an ugly shade of red. "You have no respect for your father!" "Who is my father? You?" Treasure's laugh is bitter and sharp. "You are nothing but a sperm donor, and today I am going to teach you that no one raises their hands to Winter and gets away with it." I just stand there with tears in my eyes, unable to move or speak or do anything except watch

    WINTER Mike's hand is still on my throat when I decide I've had enough of being the victim in other people's dramatic scenes. Time to change the narrative. I reach into my pocket and pull out the small canister I had taken out of my bag before getting into Mike's car. I spray it directly into his eyes. Mike screams like I just told him his credit card got declined, except louder and more genuine, and his hand immediately flies off my throat to clutch at his face. I don't waste the opportunity. I shove him as hard as I can. He stumbles backward like a drunk giraffe and crashes to the ground with a thud that I will treasure in my memory forever. Right up there with "winning first place" and "the day I finally blocked his number." Without hesitation, I pull the rope from my other pocket. Yes, I took it from my room while packing. Yes, I thought this through. No, I'm not sorry. I drop onto him before he can recover, using my knee to pin him down. He's heavier than I rem

  • The Goodbye He Never Saw Coming    Chapter Eighty Nine

    WINTER Mike leads the way, opens the door, and I follow him inside. Walking back into Mike's house feels like voluntarily entering a crime scene. Except the crime is the years of my life I'll never get back, and the evidence is everywhere I look. "I'll quickly go to the kitchen and get something ready for you," Mike says, his voice all gentle and caring like he's suddenly transformed into Boyfriend of the Year. Right. Because nothing says "I've changed" like offering to cook after spending years claiming domestic work was beneath him. I nod, not trusting my voice to stay neutral. The moment he disappears into the kitchen, I move. Fast. I hurry toward what used to be my room and start grabbing everything that belongs to me that I left behind when I went to the resort. Clothes. Books. My small collection of design magazines. The framed photo of me, my mom and Treasure. Everything I paid for with my own money while Mike was out buying gifts for his mistress. I'm not lea

  • The Goodbye He Never Saw Coming    Chapter Eighty Eight

    WINTER I keep running until I'm outside the gate, my lungs burning and my legs threatening to give out beneath me. Because apparently when your fiancé's dead wife shows up with their son, the appropriate response is cardio. Who knew? I stop by the roadside, clutching my chest because breathing has suddenly become an Olympic sport I'm failing at. Tears stream down my face and I can't make them stop no matter how hard I try. People are going to see me like this. They're going to see me break down right here on this public road like I'm auditioning for a dramatic scene in a soap opera, and not even two hours ago everyone watched me and Nath in that arena professing our love to each other, looking so happy and perfect together. If they see me crying like this now, it'll be a disaster. A spectacle. The gossip will spread faster than wildfire in a paper factory. I wipe my tears furiously with the back of my hand, trying to summon whatever courage I have left. I need to hitch a

  • The Goodbye He Never Saw Coming    Chapter Eighty Seven

    WINTER As we head toward our room, my brain is still trying to process the fact that my fiancé is secretly a billionaire chairman who just destroyed my ex-boyfriend's elaborate scheme with the casual efficiency of someone swatting a fly. I turn to him. "Okay, I need to know. How did you discover Vivian's plan? Like, did you have a crystal ball? Psychic powers? A time machine?" Nath laughs, and there's this knowing look in his eyes. "Ace isn't just my friend. He works for me." I stop walking. "I KNEW IT. I knew his loyalty was too intense to be just friendship. Nobody is that dedicated to a regular friend. The way he physically blocked me from leaving during the ceremony? That was definitely employee-level commitment." "He's very good at his job," Nath says as we start walking again. "I also had other people watching Mike, Olivia, and Vivian from the beginning. The moment Vivian gave up her competition spot for you, I knew something was off. Nobody is that nice without a re
