Never having to speak to you again.
“If we stayed in the city tonight,” she continues when I don’t answer. She turns to look at Molly in the backseat, a smile on her face. “Wouldn’t that be fun, honey?”
“Yes!” Molly squeals.
Fucking great.
“No,” I grit out without looking at Molly. I can’t see the disappointment on her face.
This is where I draw the fucking line.
“Oh, come on.” Jessa smacks my arm with a laugh. “It’ll be fun.” She whips around to look at Molly again. “Ask Daddy pretty please for us to stay in the city.”
What the flying fuck?

“I thinkMaliki is sick of me,” I say. “We’ve been athingfor three months. Maybe that’s his cutoff time. He can’t handle a relationship this long.”
“Are you on drugs?” Ellie asks. “It’s clear how much he loves you when I see you two together. You’ve been into each other for years.”
“He’s acting shady.”

I don’t like liars.
He stuck around until I got out, kissed me, and left.
Since then, I’ve restrained from texting or calling him.
He texted twice, asking what I was doing.

“I love you,” Ellie carries on, “but you don’t trust anyone because of Devin cheating, which is understandable.”
I take a lengthy drink of water and settle the bottle down on the table. “Maybe you’re right.”
“I’m always right.” She grins and pops a cracker in her mouth.
Even if he isn’t cheating like Devin, he’s hiding something.
Our conversation is cut short by CorbinandDevin walking into the apartment.
Devin stops, his eyes dilating when he notices me. “Shit, Sierra. I didn’t know you were here.”
He appears in better shape than I saw him last. He hasn’t attempted to contact me again since our patio talk. Maybe he’s moving on like me.
My chest caves.I hope not with Louise.
Ellie scowls at Devin before shifting the look to Corbin.
Corbin flings up his arms. “We didn’t know you were here! Ellie never told me she was coming over. I thought the coast was clear.”
