“And he hurt me.”
“If it’s any consolation, he looked just as miserable Saturday.”
“He did look pretty miserable, didn’t he?” A faint smile traces my mouth.
“Maybe you should hear him out.”
“You’re not going to let this go, are you?” I glower at her.
“No.”
“Well, you’re wasting your time.”
“Or you’re not being honest with yourself.”
“You know, I liked you when I got into your car this morning. But now, now I’m not so sure.”

“I remember. There was a scandal with her mum.”
“That’s the one.”
“You really want me to meet her?”
“Of course. She’s my friend, you’re my friend…”
“Okay. I’d like that, I think.”
“Fair warning though, she’ll probably try to corrupt you the second she gets her hands on you.”
Abigail blushes.
“Don’t—”
A commotion inside the corridor catches my attention and Abigail smirks up at me. “Ready?”
