EVAN
He knows I’m buying some time here, and he’s heeding none of my requests.
I hummed and reached for the flowers delicately arranged in white and yellow Korean mesh flower wrapping paper, settling them on top of my desk. Rylee’s gaze remained on me as I stared at the roses blankly. Evan’s gift is the first one I’ve ever accepted from all that came in for me, and Nate’s is the second one. The man I love and the man I’m loathing, such is the irony of life.
A red card tucked between the rose’s leaves and stems dangles like a warning flag. Reaching for it, one thorn glided along the back of my forefinger, drawing a long searing burn, creating a long slit on my skin.
