“I don’t see you that way.”
“Liar,” she hissed, spinning toward him, the anger, oh God, the rage, it boiled beneath her skin, desperate to be released.

She tore her gaze away, forced her breaths to even out.

She jerked, refused to look back at him.
“The only thing I everdidlie to you about?”
Phrased as a question.
But one he didn’t wait for her to answer.
“That I didn’t want you.”
