Prologue

Rock Creek, Nebraska

January 2016

"What in the hell is going on in here!" Charlie yelled. Her on and off again boyfriend of the last five years, Tyler, looked over and smiled. The woman underneath him smiled and looked over at her as well. Tyler licked his lips and stopped his thrusting. The woman made a frown with a mock look of hurt.

"Hey, babe. I'm glad you're home. Why don't you get comfortable and hop in here and join us. Sarah and I were hoping you would want to get in on this." Tyler winked at her. Charlie narrowed her eyes when she realized who the woman was. Sarah Downs, Tyler's ex-girlfriend. Charlie put one hand on her hip and the other hung by her side.

"Well, since you already know that I have been with women, I can see why you would think about that. As tempting an offer as that is, I respectfully decline. He's all yours sweet cheeks." Charlie said as she turned and walked out of the bedroom. As she grabbed her bag and keys she heard the sounds indicating that the pair had returned to their romp. She rolled her eyes as she walked out the door. When she reached her car, she pulled out her cell phone and called her best friend, Laura.

"Hey La. Is that offer to stay with you and Keith for a little while still on the table? Great! Thanks! I will see you in a few and I will explain everything." Charlie ended the call and pulled her car out into traffic. Today was the start of her new life . . . a life without Tyler DeWitt.
