I almost wish she would call me a sinning whore for what I did—if that’s what she’s really thinking—but she only stares back at me with a placid expression.
I don’t get it. It’s like she’s transformed.
Something happened.
“Can I sit down?”
She frowns. “Are you really asking me if you can sit on your own couch?”
“I’m asking if you’re too mad to let me anywhere near you.”
She lets out a long sigh. “I’m not mad at you.”
I find myself walking over to her cautiously, and I’m not quite sure why. “Why are you acting so weird?” I ask as I sit down.
“What do you mean?”
“You saw something really shocking last week. Why aren’t you asking me a million questions?”
She glances down at her lap. “It’s none of my business.”
I shake my head. “I don’t get it. When Dani’s sister moved in with her boyfriend, both of you were crying over it. Like she died. Why aren’t you crying over what I did?”
She shuts her eyes, licking her lips. “I’m more mature than I was back then.”
I scowl at her, unable to help myself. “That was last year.”
“A lot can happen in a year.”
Her voice is quiet, almost dispassionate. This isn’t like her. Even the old Sofia—the one who adored me—wouldn’t be this stoically forgiving if I had done something really bad.
“What happened?” I ask.
She flinches. “Nothing.”
“Yes, it did. Something happened, and it made you forget what happened with me.”
She grows very still, almost frozen, and I feel something in the air between us.
She’s upset about something.
I set my hand on hers. “Sofi, is everything okay?”
Her lips twitch slightly, and then her face scrunches inward. She covers her eyes with her hands and lets out a heaving sob.
“Oh, Sofi.” I rub my hand up her arm. “What happened? Who do I need to beat up?”
She shakes her head rapidly, not even giving me a crying smile. “It’s all me. I did something really, really bad.”
Suddenly, it all clicks into place. The emerald dress. Showing up at Brandon’s office that day.
She didn’t forget about Finn after what she saw. She probably went straight to her little meetup with him.
And she would have been emotional and vulnerable from the scene she had just witnessed…
I run my hand up her shoulder and give it a squeeze. “Did you have sex with Finn?”
Her head jerks up, her eyes popping open. “How did you know?”
