The drive was cold. Tense. Nerve wracking Not because of the silence but because of hier

Kester sat beside me, a storm barely contained beneath his kin. His grip on the steering wheel was right, knuckles pale against the leather, and though his gaze stayed fixed on the road, the tension in his jew and the rigid line of his shoulders told me exactly how pissed he wil

My fingers twitched all the way home.

Kester, in his usual character, didn't say a word to me throughout. He was just seething beside me, driving a speed that almost made me say my last prayer.

We drove into the parking lot, and he jammed the car door shut, but before he'd walk over to my own car, I was already out and walking toward the house.

I didn't wait for him.

A part of me was happy he'd saved me from that jerk. But the other part of me was angry with him for so many

reasons.

He didn't speak to me for two days. And now, suddenly, he thought he had the right to storm in, play hero, and act like he owned me?

"Kasmine!" He called from behind, but I was already inside the house, making my way up the stairs. I ignored my parents who were sitting in the living room, no doubt hoping for some fairytale recap of my date.

I was upset with everyone..

The next second, he shoved the door wide open, making me stumble back. My heel caught on the edge of the rug. but I was quick enough to steady myself.

I didn't look at him.

I couldn't.

I was furious-furious that he had ignored me for two days, furious that he had acted like I didn't exist, and now, suddenly, he had the audacity to storm into my space like I owed him something?

Fine. If he wanted to play this game, I'd play too.

I yanked off my heels and tossed them to the floor with more force than
