Chapter 78 : Leaving the Past Behind

Becca

Seeing James in New York was not something I expected, but running into him brought up so many memories I didn’t know how to control. The way he had looked at me made my skin crawl with pleasure, not disgust, like I expected it would have. I wasn’t quite sure why it was he was there, but according to him, he wasn’t following me.

Deep down, though, I couldn’t help but feel him running into me was a work of fate and not of coincidence. Something inside me told me I was meant to see him today.

As soon as we returned to Neal’s apartment, it was clear Neal was upset over the entire situation. The scowls on his face were absolutely dreadful, and no matter how much Allegra tried to talk to him and make him feel better, he just seemed so angry over the entire situation.

“Would you please calm down? You’re completely ruining the mood. We had such a wonderful day today, and you’re acting like this.”
