She shakes her hair away from her face. “I’m fine. Just… just give me a minute.”
My eyes move from her to String Bean.
He looks like a stiff wind would blow him over.
Beady eyes. Thin lips. Pretentious-looking smirk.
This bozo gave up Asia?
This guy?
The hell was he thinking?
A woman as intelligent, beautiful, and capable as Asia bothering to look in his direction was a miracle. He should have kissed the ground that she walked on and catered to her every whim.
Is he insane?
I grit my teeth as I recall Asia’s pitiful sobs last night. This idiot broke her heart and made her feel like she wasn’t good enough. Does he have any idea what he did to her? What he did to this amazing woman?
I take a threatening step forward, my fists raised.
I should rearrange his face for that.
Asia smacks my wrist. My hands are so much bigger than hers that she has to wrap both her palms around my knuckles just to hold me back. With two little tugs, she draws my attention over to her.
Her eyes are strained, but she lifts her chin bravely and shakes her head.
She doesn’t want me beating Thad to a pulp.
For some reason, that annoys me even more. Does she still have feelings for this punk?
I arch an eyebrow just one little punch.
Her lips mash together no.
I sneer but obediently take a step back.
Thad plants his stick arms on his stick hips and laughs. “I can’t believe this.”
Neither can I. The hell were those matchmakers thinking with this punk?
“Asia, we need to talk.” Thad purses his lips. Slants a sharp look my way. “Alone.”
Asia chews on her bottom lip. Seems to consider it.
Anger slams against my heart.
Like hell.
I don’t care what regrets this scarecrow might be feeling now that Asia’s shown she’s capable of moving on, but I won’t stand here and let him jerk her around when we’re in this mess because she got drunk running from the hurt he caused her.
“I should go,” Asia says to me in a quiet voice.
My hold on her wrist tightens. “Hell no.”
Her bottom lip rolls between her teeth. “He came all this way, Hansley.”
“So? He can find his way back.”
