Chapter 56

“Izzy… can we talk?” Calen quickly changed his demeanor. “Look, I know what happened last time was not very good. If you want, we can talk here, where people can see us. All I need a chance for us to talk.”

Calen didn’t move to stop them this time. Instead, he stood rooted to the spot, his fists clenching tightly at his sides as he watched them leave. His jaw worked as if he wanted to say something, but no words came. Finally, with a sharp exhale, he turned on his heel and stormed off in the opposite direction, his frustration evident in every step

Break up? She wanted to break up with him? Izzy had been with him for three years! Did she really think she could just leave because she wanted to? Calen snorted.
