Jaden had begun our "date" with questions and answers. No one told me I was coming for an exam

"So, tell me, Kasmine.." He leaned back against his chair, swirling the wine in his glass like he was some aristocrat about to interrogate the help. "You're what now Twenty-two?"

I blinked, fork freezing, midway to my mouth. "I'll be Twenty-one in two weeks."

Whether you succeed or fail, you'll always be comfortable. That's not ambition. That's just...” He smirked. "A hobby."

That's it. I'm done..

I set my napkin down carefully, pushing my chair back. "Well, it's been a pleasure, Jaden. Truly. But I think I've had enough."
