Mate!

*Abi POV*

It’s early hours of the morning by the time Terrence comes over and Omario leaves. I feel sick the moment he is out of the door. This can’t be right.

For a full hour, Terrence is just staring at me and it’s making me uncomfortable. Him and I are usually open with each other but right now it feels like we are strangers.

“Say something, please,” I finally break the ice.

He smiles when our eyes meet.

“I am curious. How did you get him to finally leave your side?” he asks.

“His fiancée is injured. I did not have to do anything.”

Terrence chuckles, the way he usually does when he does not believe me.

“You are a lot of things Abi, a good liar is not one of them.”

I look at him and swallow my saliva. He is my best friend, I want to be honest with him but I don’t understand what’s happening to me right now. Maybe it’s gratitude. That happens to a lot of people, right?

“How did you get him to go and see her?” Terrence asks again.

“How did you get the horses to fight for you?”
