“Stop, Riff.”
“Okay.”
I stepped away.
She looked up at me. “I can’t paint anymore.”
“It’s not forever.”
“It feels like it. Everything just feels…”
“It’s my fault, Fi. I want you to hate me. I want you to be mad at me. Send it my way.”
“I could never do that, Riff. Ever.”
All I wanted to do right then was kiss her.
I wanted to give Fiona the softest, sweetest kiss of her life.
I wanted to kiss her slow, then hard.
I wanted to tell her how much she meant to me.
I think I wanted to tell her that I loved her.
FIONA
As Riff’sright leg disappeared from my bedroom, he turned around and began to close the window.
My eyes filled with tears instantly.
I hated to see him leave.
But he had to leave.
A part of me did hate Riff.
I hated Riff for a million reasons.
The car accident? Sure.
But I hated him for wanting to sneak around.
Even though it was my idea. To a point.
I hated him for looking at me the way he did.
I hated him for just looking the way he did.
I hated him for being who he was.
Secretly kind and caring. Yet on the outside he was rough and mean, like Remi.
I hated him for not listening and staying away either.
A part of me dreamed of Riff coming to visit.
I hated him for kissing my hand and apologizing.
