You knew I wanted a chance and you took her from me.”A humorless laugh leaves me, and I shake my head. “Are you serious right now? I didn’t even know who she was… And I met her when you were still treating h
ADRIAN.I don’t remember getting into the car. I don’t remember starting the engine. All I remember is the look on her face and the chilling words she said.It keeps playing in my head, wreaking havoc in my already depleted soul.We had such a great day. I cleared my schedule and spent the entire da

Ava.I watch silently as Noah storms out of the living room. His shoulders are rigid, his jaw set, and his temper practically radiating off him. Forcing him to apologize to Sierra must feel like pulling out his own teeth, and by the look on his face, he’d rather endure the pain.Honestly, I’ve never
Sierra.Mondays. Don’t you just hate Mondays? I don’t know what it is about this day, but it carries its own cursed energy. Honestly, I’ve never met anyone who truly loves Monday.
