"Landon, if you can't even handle this with a little decency, then we can skip all the usual breakup formalities and just...""Ah!"Zoe's terrified scream suddenly came through the phone, drowning out the rest of my sentence.The call disconnected immediately afterward.Ten minutes later, Zoe posted an update.Landon's tall frame was crammed into the bathroom, and from the angle of the photo, he seemed to be washing something.[What a nightmare. My period came out of nowhere in the middle of the night, and I got blood all over my underwear.][But someone says girls shouldn't be dealing with cold water when they're on their period, so he told me to leave it to him. Guess I can go back to sleep.]I thought about what Landon had said to me the night before, accusing me of being dramatic.It felt like a thousand needles were stabbing at my heart until I almost couldn't feel the pain anymore.A year earlier, I'd once jokingly asked Landon and Zoe a question while the three of us were playin

Landon didn't answer.His eyes flicked to the cut on my forehead, and without a word, he turned to find the first-aid kit. He pressed me down into a chair and gently wiped away the blood before treating the wound.His touch was careful, but his voice was ice-cold."What difference does it make?"Zoe cares too much about your friendship to ever get back together with me."I'd also promised her I'd marry you and take responsibility for you for the rest of my life."Isn't that enough?"I stared at him.So I was supposed to stay in this relationship and keep pretending to not see the way the two of them kept crossing lines right in front of me?He was careful not to hurt me, but the moment the medication touched the cut, pain shot through my forehead, and I clenched my fists.When I finally spoke, my voice was hoarse."No."Because this whole thing disgusts me."Because the man you are now doesn't deserve my love.Landon's hand froze in midair, and for a moment, his expression went complet

An hour later, Landon pulled up outside Quinn's office building and headed straight for the thirty-eighth floor.The receptionist recognized him immediately and teased, "Wow, I haven't seen you come pick Quinn up from work in forever."Landon's throat tightened. Come to think of it, it had been almost a year."Is she here?"That made the receptionist pause."I don't think I've seen her today."Then she spotted another woman passing by and called her over."Hey, you're in Quinn's department, right? I don't think she came in today. Have you seen her?"The woman frowned."You seriously don't know? She quit."Then she shook her head. "No idea what she was thinking. Probably had something to do with that long-distance boyfriend of hers again. She's hopeless when it comes to him."Landon's expression tightened."When did she quit?""About a month ago, I think. "She'd been working overtime for two straight months because she wanted to save up enough time off to go see her boyfriend. She stay

Quinn's POVWhen Mom called for me, Miles Zimmerman was still quietly asking if I wanted to try that new restaurant everyone had been talking about for dinner.I was smiling and about to answer when I noticed the strange look on Mom's face. She motioned for me to come over, looking both uncomfortable and faintly annoyed.Confused, I walked over and saw Landon standing there.I stopped short."What are you doing here?"Shouldn't he have been off somewhere with Zoe, enjoying whatever it was they insisted on calling "just friendship"?Landon grabbed my arm and pulled me outside, his expression tense."Who was that guy sitting next to you?"My elbow struck the doorframe, and I sucked in a sharp breath. Irritated, I yanked my arm free."My fiancé.""What?"Landon stared at me as if he couldn't believe what he'd heard."Quinn Sterling, being mad at me is one thing, but this is going way too far. How can you be this reckless?"You broke up with me because you were angry, fine. Then you quit y
