It was Caleb who'd been kicked to the ground, but Rebecca was

the one who screamed.

Caleb groaned, rolling over twice on the pavement. "Seriously?"

"Rebecca, don't be scared. I've got you."

her past self across the face.

"Let me be clear," she said coldly. "We're done. Whatever mess we had? It's over. You go your way, and I'll go mine. And if you so much as look at me the wrong way again, I swear I'll press
