Morning couldn't have come any faster. Throughout the breakfast, the tension only thickened. Levi took Esmeralda away as promised.
Sadly, he didn't give her the kiss she was accustomed to. He left after a quick good morning. Levi could no longer hide the thoughts in his heart.
She didn't try to ease his worries either and that only fueled the fire in his heart. He didn't wait for her to either. He gave her hours to explain but got nothing.
Two hours later, she sat in a deserted park on a workday waiting for Jace. She felt her heart squeeze painfully in her chest.
It wasn't too long ago when she promised him that he was the only one. It wasn't long before she told him she would give anything up to keep him.
Yet she couldn't even explain her betrayal when he needed it to feel reassured. She felt the bench dip as the man sat beside her.
