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?"

The fact that she'd once loved him? It made her want to smack

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

charges."

People had started to gather, heads turning, phones out.
