His face fell. “What?”
I threw my apron down on his desk. “No, Declan. I’m done.”
His brows knitted together. “I don’t understand.”
“I fucking quit, Dec. I’m done.”
I didn’t let him get in another word. Instead, I stormed out of the brewery and went home.
Was it foolish to turn down the marketing director job? Yes. Was it a bad idea to quit the brewery with no backup plan? Also yes. But I couldn’t work side-by-side with the man who broke my heart three times. Maybe I could make a go at upping my sales in my jewelry store. Maybe that could be my next step.
I sat in my living room and took out my jewelry-making kit. Inside were some shells from the lake. Maybe I could add nautical jewelry, too, and diversify my inventory. Or I could find a different job. I should check if Sullivan’s bar was hiring. Or I could move back to the city.
My phone beeped on the coffee table. I ignored the text from my sister. Felix hadn’t responded to my ‘go fuck yourself’ text from last night. He had made it clear he didn’t care about me. Maybe he never did and had been pretending all week long. I was just someplace to stick his dick in for a no-strings-attached fling and nothing else.
I wished I hadn’t let my heart get in the way. I wished he had never told me why he stood me up. I couldn’t hate him when I knew his reasons for keeping me away. It would have been nice if he had been honest with me instead.
I went to the Poconos to figure out what I wanted, but all I wanted was Felix. Instead, I came home with my heart shattered into a thousand tiny pieces.
