Chapter 92

"Just ask?" Maddox glanced at her, before returning his attention to the road.

"Why did you leave?" Ava asked quietly, her curiousness and hurt flooding Maddox's senses. "Is it something I did? I never meant to drive you away."

Maddox was silent and every one of her words weren't meant to anger him, but they did.

"I loved you Maddox and you just left me. I was worried about you, about us. I was sure I would die of a broken heart. It took me years to get over our ... friendship. And I'm glad you are back, I honestly am, but why now? I ... you are making me feel things, that I tried so hard to forget. I don't know what to do."

Ava had always been open about her feelings, baring them to the world and now to Maddox. Just like Maddox never wanted to hurt her back then, he didn't want to do it now, nor ever, yet he abruptly pulled the car over and glared at his mate.
