“Sorry,” he calls.

I keep storming and see the cab rank up ahead. There are two people waiting in line but no cabs. It begins to sprinkle with rain.

“Oh, great, this is just what I need.”

How many times are you going to throw that in my face?

I narrow my eyes as my blood begins to boil, and this is exactly my point.

Nathan Mercer is a selfish fuckface who only cares about himself.

“Eliza!” he pants as he reaches me. He must have been running to find me.

I cross my arms in front of me. “Go away, I have nothing to say to you.”

“What?” He breathes heavily. “We haven’t finished talking.”

“Yes, we have.”

The rain begins to get heavier, and I roll my eyes. Is this for real? It hasn’t rained for weeks, and the one fucking night I’m out without a cab, it decides to come down.

“Why can’t we try again?” he asks.

“Because you’re an entitled asshole, that’s why.” I snap.

“How am I entitled?” He gasps.

“You break my fucking heart, turn up here and demand I come back to you at the snap of your fingers.”

“You said you loved me.”

“I said I loved you back then, asshole.”

He narrows his eyes. I know he doesn’t like being called an asshole. Well, too bad, because he is. “So, you don’t love me now?”

“No.” I stare straight ahead. “I don’t, actually.”

“Liar.”

“Just go away, Nathan.”

The rain begins to really come down.

“Are you fucking serious?” I cry to the Gods. I storm over to stand under an awning, and I take out my phone.

“What are you doing?”

“Calling an Uber. What does it look like?”

“Why are you being such a fucking bitch?” He whispers angrily.

I lower my phone and glare at him. “Your mouth is too big for your own good.”

His eyes bulge.

“You’re an ostrich.” I go back to my phone.

“What does that mean?”
