“I think the hate flows more in one direction than the other.”
“So you’re blaming Remi for it all.”
I looked back. “No, Fi. I’m not. What is this?”
“This is me trying to understand how my life is going to be now. I find someone I love. I really love that person. And it’s…”
“The wrong kind of love,” I said.
“It’s not wrong. What’s wrong is that I don’t understand what really happened with you two. I know the car accident. I know about that. I watched you two fight. The night you came to check on me. But you hugged. You were good after that.”
“I’m not sure we were ever good again, Fi.”
“That’s a lie. You two were close. You played hockey together. Then the bus…”
My jaw felt like steel.
My heart paused for a second.
“I thought the bus crash would have brought you closer together.”
“Fiona.”
“What? Why can’t we talk about it? I want to know everything. I want to know the truth.”
“I’m not doing it.”
“Griffin. Don’t be a stubborn ass.”
“I said I’m not talking about it!”
My voice boomed.
I swung my right hand and punched the blank canvas off the easel.
My eyes caught sight of the back door to the gallery and that’s where I made my next visit.
As I walked toward the door with big strides, Fiona called out my name over and over.
I punched the door open and stepped outside.
The flood of anger hit me hard.
I started to walk.
Fiona called out my name again.
“I’m not going to stop chasing you down!”
I ignored her.
“You stupid asshole!”
I heard her feet on the ground.
Chasing after me.
I could have broken out into a run.
