Clare Christian scanned the newspaper. "Where are you, Ally?" She wondered why Ally hadn’t called her. They’d often gone for a few weeks without seeing one another, but they’d always kept in touch by phone. She debated calling Ally’s private number. What reason would she give for calling if Michael answered? If she didn’t hear from Ally soon she would make the call. She loved being Ally’s confidant as well as her lover. In the beginning, she’d wanted so much more out of their relationship and at times had even thought about ending it, but she knew deep within her heart that Ally was destined to remain a part of her life. She’d settled into her own life, living for the moments Ally could come to her and they would make passionate love and then she would tenderly hold Ally as Ally shared her fears and hopes with her. She hated releasing her back into her life with Michael Brent, but knew she had to.

Saturday's Excerpt – Zinna
She had to keep her focus on Megan. Megan was probably sitting home alone, crying her eyes out. That thought seemed to sober her up some. She sipped at her wine.
Alternatively, maybe Megan had had enough, moved on with her own life, and shut the door on Zinna. Maybe she was out on the town tonight herself. Maybe right now, at this very moment, she was in another woman’s arms. That thought sent such a pain through her heart that she was certain she’d die.

Saturday's Excerpt – Zinna
Zinna heard the unmistakable tears in Megan’s voice. Hot tears poured from her own eyes, zigzagging down her face. She felt her lover’s pain. She was the cause of Megan’s pain as well as her own.
"Who’s there?"
Zinna listened to the silence. Megan was probably looking at the caller ID. She’d forgotten about the caller ID. Shit, now she’s going to know it’s me.
"Zinna," she choked. "Is that you? Please talk to me," she sobbed.
Zinna’s lips quivered. "Meg, I love you; just remember that," she wept, then clicked the phone off. She buried her head in her lap, sobbing uncontrollably.

Saturday's Excerpt – The Other Side
Nothing made sense. She’d always been strong and in control of her emotions, but now everything was jumbled. She worried about Christa and Michael. He was so distant with her and as her world crumbled before her, with no way of stopping it, he distanced himself even further. She brought it up to him and he denied it, but she felt it just the same. He was disgusted with her. She saw it in his eyes when he looked at her. When she was physically and emotionally stronger, she’d have to face the shame and humiliation about her confinement. There was no escaping that fact. And Clare. How could she ever explain any of this to Clare? God, how she missed her, but even more needed her.

Saturday's Excerpt – Zinna
Why had Megan tormented her with all these questions? What did Megan really want from her? What did she really want from Megan? She was terrified of what lay ahead tonight, but she had to take the risk. She leaned in closer. She felt Megan’s sweet breath near her mouth. A tremor went through Megan’s hand, or was it her own, or both? It felt like an electric current was surging through her veins. In a moment, she would totally suffocate.
"What do you want from me?" she weakly whispered.
Megan’s voice was barely audible as she whispered back, "Nothing you haven’t all ready figured out."
