Another chapter published and two on the way! Here's a little piece from Reckless Promises.
"It's my fucking drinking that caused everything. I promised you I'd help you, and instead, my recklessness just dragged you down with me."
" You guys are practically enemies. You hate each other but keep it civil for everyone around you. He's jealous of you and your life and... I think you're jealous of him a little. Am I right?"
"I don't hate the guy, Julia." I keep my focus on the ceiling while we lay next to each other. I really don't hate him. He has never done anything wrong.
"I just hate that he won. He won you. You love him, and he treats you well. So, yeah. Maybe I AM a little jealous. I didn't treat you well. We fought all the time, you and me." I pause, and Jules listens intently, letting me talk. It's rare we talk like this.
"He shouldn't be jealous of my life, though. You see what it's like. I swear people think money is fucking everything. Being Nate Hollan comes with a price. You know that. Everything I do is under the microscope and judged. Nothing's private. Nothing. You see how people twist shit. I love doing what I do for a living. I just wish people would be respectful and leave me and everyone associated with me alone."
