“You’re a bad habit,” she murmurs. And then her eyes widen. “I mean…”

I laugh. “No, it’s true.”

Her lips part slightly as I continue to rub on them.

“You deserve better, Asia.”

“Than Thad?”

I nod.

She wraps her fingers around my wrist and pulls my hand back. “Than you?”

Yes.

No.

I don’t freaking know anymore.

There’s a ring on her finger.

My ring on her finger.

And with every second that passes, I don’t want her to take it off.

The tension between us mounts as we stare at each other.

She’s studying me. Like I’m some test she can’t figure out.

My phone buzzes, forcing me to break our heated gaze.

It’s Tierra.

T: On our way. Everyone’s coming.

I curse under my breath.

“What’s wrong?” Asia cranes her neck so she can see my cell phone.

I show it to her without reservation. “A warning.”

“Everyone?” Asia cringes. “Like… all the couples from Venus’s wedding last night? Lucas and Ina? Elizabeth and Brogan?”

I nod.

Her voice rises in pitch. “Amina and Matt? Nellie and Jonas? Tierra and Brett?”

“You remember all their names?”

“I need to go.” She pushes up from the table.

“Whoa.” I snatch her hand before she can make a run for it. “Sorry, sweetheart. You vowed to stay by my side, remember?”

“When?”

“When we got married.”

“We’re getting that annulled,” she snaps.
