Chapter 22
Not a single word was spoken between us as we began eating. We were only a few bites into our meals when Dani finally broke the silence.
"I think that's the first time you haven't had an excuse to counter the truth."
"No, I just have no intention of spilling my own truth and upsetting you in public - especially with how jealous you get when I point out being with other women and enjoying the bachelor life," I spouted off without even thinking about it, despite the fact that none of the bullshit I was saying was even true. A huge knot formed in my stomach as my words had their intended effect - silencing while also hurting her. But that's not really what I wanted. I was just so fucking used to being a dick to protect myself that it's what was second nature at this point. I fucking hate myself.
