“I have nothing to say to you,” I muttered, stepping around him and striding off.

‘What does Edward even want to talk about? Does he just want to hear me say, to his face, that I must’ve been blind to choose Ryan?‘ I thought.

I don’t owe it to him to feed his sad little ego.

I hurried to the restaurant, and Isabelle had already taken care of the ordering. But she wasn’t sitting alone.
