Jared’s reminder made my face flush instantly. I’d been in such a rush earlier that I hadn’t even checked the mirror after my shower. If I’d realized those hickeys were still visible, I would’ve just thrown on a turtleneck.

Jared looked like he’d taken another hit. He bit down in bitter silence, staring out the window and saying nothing.

‘Does he think I did it on purpose?‘ I wondered to myself.

eat.”

The restaurant had a play area for kids–a great chance for Yvonne to build her confidence and practice her English. She eagerly ran off to play by herself.

As for me, I just kept glancing over in Yvonne’s direction.
