Chapter 131

Jared got sentimental, which was so unlike him that it threw me off balance.

I stared, my usual quick–witted deflections failing me. Of all the things I’d prepared for, him asking if I still cared wasn’t one of them. I’d assumed indifference was our unspoken agreement.

“Seriously? You’re overcomplicating things,” I said, forcing a smirk.

A flicker of annoyance crossed his face. “You’ve been different since you said you were going back to work.”

“Different how? I’m the same person.” I tilted my head, playing dumb.

“I can’t pinpoint it, but you’re not the same.” Jared was a master at keeping people at arm’s length, but he had a razor–sharp intuition. Apparently, he’d picked up on the fact that I’d stopped loving him.

“You’re imagining things. I’ve just been busy, that’s all.” I threw his old excuse back at him, my voice flat.
