VIOLETTA“Aren’t you going to ask where we’re going?” Cassian asked, filling the silence.I wasn’t, especially since he was only going to tease me in response… as I sat there with my head leaning against the window, I could barely contain my anxiety so I wouldn’t be able to handle his teasing.“No,” I replied as dryly as I could so he would drop it, but I knew better.He chuckled. “Well, I keep catching you stealing glances at me. Admit it, Red. You’re wondering where exactly we are headed.”“You know…” I started, holding my face wasn’t a giveaway that his words had gotten to me, I met his gaze, “I encourage this behaviour and you are being… a very bad boy.”Silence.I turned to look at him, and I could have sworn I saw his face turn beet red.A blush?He didn’t say anything about my words, but his reaction was as visible as the tips of his ears had turned pink.I could have stopped there, but I chose to push my luck. “Speechless, Captain?”The color in his cheeks had faded when he gl

CASSIANFor a few seconds, I couldn’t breathe.We were still up there, suspended at the very top of the Ferris wheel… with Vee looking at me.Her eyes filled with the same longing I felt and something I had spent years convincing myself I would never have to face again… while her words echoed inside my head over and over and over again.I like you more… from the first time I had seen you watch across the bar months ago before you had drunkenly saved me from the biggest mistake of my life, I had liked you.So much so that I catch your fiery hair once you walk into a room, pushing up those glasses…that shield your most beautiful feature meekly unaware of the attention you attract.You hadn’t seen me though.Wrapped up in your own world, I found myself searching for you caring less you were with the one hypocrite I hated.Once I had gotten out of my head, I wanted to tell you but now… the only question ringing in my head was, whether I will be able to protect you from my demons.My chest

VIOLETTAThe fatigue that washed over me was almost unbearable…At this point, I was sure I wasn’t the only one tired of dealing with Logan.And the worst part? He had caught me at the worst fucking time ever with that smug look on his face.All this while, I had kept quiet and let him, alongside his future wife, harass me… knowing fully well that if I wanted to, I could have him on his knees begging me not to release those tapes.This man sure did have some nerves.After everything he had done to me…?“Oh, HELL NO!” Ollie was quick to reply, placing a hand in front of him to stop him from getting any closer. “I don’t think this is wise of you.”He didn’t even pay her any mine and just kept his eye on me, as if that could influence my decision.“It’s okay, Ollie. You’re going to stay with me anyways.”I pointed toward a nearby snack bar, refusing to acknowledge the look of pure excitement on Logan’s face.I was going to end this.I refused to comment on the look of excitement that cros

VIOLETTA Overthinking was going to be the end of me. Why, after asking for a break, was I still sitting here completely distracted when I had a test on a timer? Instead of focusing on the questions in front of me, my mind kept circling back to the same endless stream of what-ifs. What if what he had to tell me had nothing to do with pity? What if it was actually something important? And I had just asked him to stay at arms reach because of the thoughts I had in my head? Oh, fuck it. I was definitely going to fail this course if I continued like this. “Violetta.” I heard the lecturer call my name and I paused my thoughts to look up at her. Following her line of sight, my eyes landed on my still empty paper. “Are you okay?” The look of concern in her eyes made me consider telling her I wasn’t feeling well. She probably would have excused me but I needed to sit up and get myself together. This was merely a test. Everything on it had already been covered in the

CASSIANA smile lit my face as I watched her search for me, and then our eyes met.My smile faded when she didn’t smile like she always did.Now that I thought about it, she hadn’t smiled at me yesterday either… she looked like it was killing her to be in the same space with me.I missed her yapping, too.God, I missed everything about her.But at this point, I was a beggar… begging for whatever little bit of her time she was willing to spare.I could see Ollie yell something at her by the window before giving me the stink eye and disappearing back inside.Whatever he said made her take the first step toward me, so I got out of the truck and opened the passenger door.Please say something…I caught a whiff of her perfume, a sweet vanilla scent that immediately had me entranced, but I soon grabbed hold of my emotions.I wouldn’t want to look like a creep… whatever these thoughts were having me think!She climbed in without saying a word, and I felt that familiar feeling of anxiety slow
