Chapter 80: Mine

"Cassie, let me get you warm and dry and we can talk this out, please," his brown eyes bore into hers and Cassie could swear the temperature went up ten degrees.

"Fine," she said and got out of the car before he could open the door.

He started a fire and went to get her a throw blanket before he sat down next to her. Cassie stood up.

"David, I don't know what more there is to say. Your date is waiting for you-"

"Is that so? Cause from where I am sitting, my date looks like she'd like to maim me," he smiled, but it was tinged with a sadness that pulled at her heart.

"Stop it, we both know, this, us, wouldn't work. We are too different," she said and turned her back.

It would be easier if she didn't have to see him while she did this. At least if she broke it off, she could always fall back on that. Yeah, that will help your heart when it's broken into a million pieces.
