Calen gave a small nod, his lips curling faintly. “Of course. That sounds like a great idea.”

Hearing this, Izzy felt her stomach twist. First was the restaurant then… the park. Calen was clearly up to something! She silently gritted her teeth. The last thing she wanted was to sit through a meal with the two people she didn’t want to see. Before Pamella could take another step, Izzy stood abruptly, pulling her hand free from Liam’s. “Actually, you can have the table,” she said, forcing a polite smile. “We’ve already finished eating. You two can enjoy the view in peace.”

Pamella reached out, her perfectly manicured fingers curling around Izzy’s arm before she could move. “Oh, don’t be silly,” Pamella said sweetly. “This kind of coincidence must be fate. Why don’t we spend the day together? It’ll be more fun that way.”

Izzy tensed at the word “fate,” her forced smile faltering for a brief second. She was about to politely decline when Calen leaned forward, casually resting his arms on the back of one of the chairs.

“She’s right,” Calen said, his gaze landing squarely on Izzy. “Why not? After all, we’ve both moved on, haven’t we? The past doesn’t matter anymore.”

Izzy’s jaw tightened. She wanted to walk away, but the smug smile on Calen’s face made it impossible to ignore his arrogance. The man wanted to provoke her into agreeing. His smug expression, the subtle challenge in his posture—it all made her blood simmer.

Liam stood as well, his presence immediately reminding her that she was no longer alone. His sharp gaze flicked between Pamella and Calen, lingering on the latter for a moment too long.
