“I don’t like you,” she finally said, as if that part needed clarification.
“And I never have. You float into people’s lives like a flame, then make them burn for you. Jude burned for you. And now, even as you stand here pretending to be over him… I don’t buy it.”
“It doesn’t matter what you believe,” I said. “Because I’m telling you.. Jude and I are done.”
“Good,” Lily whispered, stepping so close I could feel her breath against my cheek. “Because if you’re not done… I’ll end it. Permanently.”
