Bella immediately steps out of the car, silently following Tristan and Dax as they walk before her. Seeing them hold hands, she feels her heart race.
It was not the first time Bella felt touched by the closeness of the two men in front of her; she had seen this often since they lived side by side.
By day, she found it hard to describe her feelings anymore. Her heart for Tristan slowly swells again, witnessing how patient and gentle he is toward Dax and how close they are now.
Bella tried hard not to waver, witnessing how close Tristan and Dax were now, but it was hard to do so. Especially all this time, she had always chosen Dax's happiness over her own.
'Did I start to waver on him again?' This question has consistently appeared in her mind lately, teasing and confusing her.
'NO! Stop thinking about it, Bella. You and Tristan are just a thing of the past!' Bella shook her head, trying to get the ridiculous thought out of her mind.
