Once was enough for me to humble myself for love; I'm done making that mistake.

"Hayden, you seem to be forgetting something-we're enemies. I let you go a long time ago. Whoever you marry? Doesn't matter to me. I'll even send a wedding gift if you want."

I forced a smile. "No need to worry. I'm not clinging to you. When I decide to move on, I don't look back. Jace and I were together for ten years, and once I was done, I was done. With you? We barely lasted a few months."

I took a breath, feeling my voice steady out. "And let's not forget-your dad caused my parents' deaths. Sure, I don't hold that against you, but I can't act like it didn't happen. My parents would never forgive me."

"And the Drago family... they're my enemies too. Just because I haven't acted yet doesn't mean I've forgotten. I... I just..." I trailed off, my throat tight, feeling like I'd already said too much. But that ache in my chest wouldn't quit.

I added, "Look, Hayden. With everything between us, how could I still love you? So don't worry I'm not here to ruin your life. If I wanted revenge, I'd find a better way. I won't mess with your love or your marriage. I really do wish you happiness. Both of you." I looked up at the sky. "If you don't believe me, I'll swear it right here under the moon."

I raised my hand, forcing a smile even as tears slipped down my cheeks.

I caught the flicker of pain in Hayden's eyes.
