“Remi? What does…”
“And I saw that letter, Fi. I wasn’t snooping. It was right there on the floor.”
“What letter?”
“Termination letter,” he said.
Every nerve in my body jumped.
I instantly felt myself going into defense mode.
“You know what, asshole? I was going to call Remi today. I was going to go see him. I’m not hiding. I have nothing to hide.”
“So you’re going to see Remi today? And tell him what? What are you doing in town?”
“It doesn’t matter,” I said. “I’ll figure it out. I’ll make something up.”
“Just quick and smooth lies?”
“You’re one to talk, Riff. We both lie. A lot. And you’re this pissed off over a letter? Something that is not your business at all?”
“It is my business when you’re crashing at my place,” Riff snapped.
“Oh… fuck you…”
“Am I wrong?”
“You know what, Riff? Remember something. We are not a couple. Got it?”
“Loud and clear, sweetheart,” he said.
He went back to his bedroom and slammed the door.
I shook my head.

I wasn’t exactly a fan of the idea.
But it wasn’t like I was packing up and going back home either.
Why is that, Fiona?
I asked myself that question too many times.
I settled on an excuse that felt fair and right.
I’m not leaving until I clear the air with Riff.
No way in hell we are going to get into a stupid argument about me and then I’m going to take off.
I need to set things straight with him, then I can leave.
