Seattle, One Year Later I NEED A DRINK. Stuck in rush-hour traffic, Harrison Kincaid turned on the radio and gazed at the car in front of him without really seeing it. His SUV was cocooned in fog, giving him the seductive illusion that he and his vehicle were an island, adrift from the world around them. His entire day, though he'd spent most of it in his brightly lit office surrounded by people, had felt like this. Hazy and surreal. Even signing the acquisition papers for the Torsun deal hadn't given him the usual buzz of accomplishment. He'd left the mergers and acquisitions group celebrating with a bottle of champagne at five o'clock, without even a trace of regret. He needed to get home. He needed his scotch. Maybe Aidan had been right that he shouldn't have gone to work at all today. But if he'd stayed home, he'd be plastered by now. And besides, going to work gave him less time to think about what had happened one year ago today. This was not the sort of anniversary he'd counted on marking when he'd married Simone six years ago. Why did she do it? Why, why, why, why? The question had become the sound track to his life. It ran through his mind constantly, taunting him with its essential insolubility. The only person who could tell him why Simone had killed herself, was Simone herself. And her suicide note, such as it had been, hadn't provided any answers. Trust Simone to leave a cryptic, poetic missive as her final words to the world. There'd been nothing personal in there at all. Not a word to her husband. Or to her daughter. Harrison's mood sank even lower at the thought of Autumn. The five-year-old had seemed okay in the months immediately following Simone's death. She'd missed her mother, of course. But Simone had often been gone for weeks at a time when she was on tour. So her loss hadn't really sunk in for a while. But that respite had ended. Increasingly Autumn was becoming more anxious, clingy and just generally unhappy. He could see all that. He just didn't know what to do about it when he could barely keep himself afloat these days. It wasn't just missing Simone. That pain had been slowly easing over the last few months. It was the guilt that was killing him. He supposed blaming yourself was part of the package when someone you loved took her own life. But was it normal for the guilt to grow over time, rather than lessen? To feel, more and more, that you had let the other person down and were still, somehow, letting her down? The faint glow of taillights ahead of him receded and he correspondingly inched his vehicle forward, keeping his place in line. He found himself thinking of the old gang on Summer Island. How were Jennifer, Emerson and Gabe marking the anniversary of Simone's death? Would they get together? Or did they even see one another anymore? He knew Aidan, like himself, hadn't been in touch with any of them since Simone's memorial service. H Fiction Fiction eBook, Harlequin<
