Excerpt
âEvan, I want to know what happened, but I have a life now and you need to knowâ¦â She trails off, her eyes darting away from mine.
âWhat?â
Gazing up at me, she continues, âWhatever you have to say, itâs not going to change a thing. Weâre over.â
My heart twists and breathing becomes difficult. Mother fuck, her words cut deep, hurting even though they arenât true. Sure, she believes them on some levelâshe had to, in order to get through what I did. Yet, along with the hurt and disappointment swimming in her eyes, thereâs also tenderness and love.
âTell me youâre happy and Iâll walk away.â
We always pushed each other, challenged the other to face our fears, to be honest with ourselves, with each other. I need to hear her say it. I donât believe it, but if she is over me, I need to hear it in her voice and see it in her faceânot because I want to, but because itâs the only way I can even begin to accept that weâre over. Even then, itâs not possible.
âIâm happy.â Her tone is laden with bravado, but no true emotion. Even her gaze, which never wavers from mine, is flat.
Shaking my head, I briefly cast my eyes downward to suppress my smile. âNo, youâre not.â
âVan.â I flinch at that fucking name.
As a child, I thought it was so fucking cool to have a nickname that only my best friends would call me. Now, hearing âVanâ from her pretty lips, I want to obliterate the word from her vocabulary, fucking kiss the word out of her.
âYou can call me asshole for all I care, youâre not happy,â I retort in frustration. Catching my tone, I breathe deeply and loosen my fists to relax. âDonât lie to me, and most of all, donât lie to yourself.â
âYou donât know what youâre talking about. You want to see what you want. Iâm with Greg, and weâre happy.â
She grimaces infinitesimally, then averts her eyes from me. Unable to read her, Iâm not sure if itâs because she means it and doesnât want to hurt my feelings or if the lie tastes nasty in her mouth.
âSweetness, I know everything there is to know about you, without apology. You canât lie to me.â
