Chapter 50“Don’t you look dashing, Connor Bolton?” Lydia smiled at Connor who was making his way towards us with obvious confident strides.“Oh Lydia,” Connor pretended to tuck hair behind his ear when he stood in front of us, “you flatter me.”We all laughed.“Guess your trip to London was pretty awesome.” I said to him with a smile. “You look good.”“Thank you, Grace.” He said, smiling softly at me.“So? What about all the hot lady writers you were posting?” Lydia asked, wiggling her brows. “Did you hit it off with anyone?”Connor’s eyes met mine for a split second before he responded, “I think I’ve had enough hitting it off for one year. I think I’m just gonna chill on love for a while.”“Aww, that sounds great, Connor.” Lydia said, patting his shoulder. “Good for you.”“Thanks, Lyd.”“Well, there goes my triple date dreams, I guess.” Lydia joked.I chuckled, “Shut up, Lydia.”“What is she talking about?” Connor asked, confused eyes shifting from mine to Lydia's.“It's just a stup

Chapter 52{ D E A N }4 HOURS EARLIER.I would be leaving tomorrow.The thought of returning to a norm which Grace wasn’t a part of was sad to say the least, but we both knew what we were up against when we promised to give us another try.And I would rather endure a million phone calls and torturous nights of wishing she was beside me than have her absent from my life as a whole.Seeing as today would be the last time we spend together in a while, I wanted to make it special. Even if it wasn’t something over the top, I spent majority of the day trying to learn a new recipe and watch tutorials on YouTube and TikTok. I wanted to cook dinner for her, something different and exquisite. I felt it would be the perfect way to spend the evening, seeing as how she had been working all day.I probably watched a thousand cooking videos before I finally headed out to the supermarket to get the ingredients I needed for the meal. I didn’t realize until I got to the parking lot and loaded the groc

Chapter 54The knot I felt in my stomach was tight enough to kill me.I knew I had been anxious and bothered about this all weekend, but it felt a million times worse now knowing I’d have to go to work and look Connor dead in the eye after everything he did to me.I hadn’t heard a single word from him all weekend.Nothing.A part of me was hoping that there was still some sort of humanity in him and that he would try to reach out and apologize. A part of me hoped that he would find a way to explain why he did what he did. Blame it on the alcohol, something. Anything.But he didn’t.And that was okay.Because today, I was determined to make sure Connor loses his job after what he did to me.Dean drove me to work.The ride consisted of him whispering reassuring words to me and offering small acts of physical comfort like holding my hand in his and rubbing his thumb soothingly on the back of my hand or placing a hand on my thigh and gently squeezing on it.When we eventually got to Sprin

Chapter 56“Hold on, so she just texted you?” Lydia asked, raising one questioning brow. “Out of nowhere?”I nodded, “Yeah.”“And she’s on her way here right now?” She asked again, her eyes going from mine to Dean’s continually.Dean and I both nodded.As Lydia had promised, she stopped by that night.It wasn’t long after she arrived that we filled her in on what had happened, which was the texts I received from Greta. It seemed like she was still trying to wrap her head around the whole thing.Lydia read through the texts again with my phone in her hand, “But what exactly do you think she wants to say to you? She didn’t particularly give enough context before you invited her over.”I moved over to where Lydia stood and looked at the conversation again.Me: why?Greta: can we meet somewhere private & talk?Me: how does my apartment sound?Greta: that’s okay.Me: I’ll send a pin rn.“Look,” I said again, “I just feel that it’s fantastic that the one person that believes me, aside you g

Chapter 58“I don’t know,” I gave a light shrug. “I’m not sure exactly what I expected but I was kind of hoping she’d have something more reasonable to say. But her views on the entire thing haven’t changed. She still thinks I should suck it up and forget about justice.”“Damn, I’m sorry my love.” Dean said, stealing a quick glance at me in the passenger seat before focusing his attention back on the road. “If she still thinks like that, then she obviously doesn’t believe you. Because it’s impossible to not feel angry about this situation, especially when it involves someone you claim to care about so much.”Dean kept to his word and was at my workplace to pick me up by 5pm sharp.We waited with Lydia for a while before Carlton came to pick her up. Carlton was kind to me, as he has been since the whole thing happened. I could tell what happened to me really made him upset. I mean, apart from the fact that his girlfriend was completely affected by it.He genuinely wanted to help in wha
