Sorry, Don. This Time I Won't Wait for You
"The promise you made me didn't matter. The career I clawed out for myself didn't matter."
"Just like even now, you're still making me wait."
I sighed and turned to face Julian.
"But I've already married someone else. I have a new life."
"So tell me, why should I wait for you?"
When I finished, I watched the emotions churning in his eyes, then looked down at my watch.
"Don. I should go. I don't want to keep Roman waiting too long."
The instant those words landed, Julian took a step back. A furious, broken laugh escaped him, and then he grabbed my wrist, hard.
