He didn’t turn around immediately. His shoulders remained tense, his gaze fixed on the darkening forest. The usual playfulness that defined him was nowhere to be seen.

I placed my hand on his arm. “Please talk to me.”

Levi finally turned to look at me, his green eyes stormy with emotion. “What do you want me to say, Hazel? That I’m thrilled about sharing you with someone else? With Leo of all people?”

His voice cracked slightly on Leo’s name, and I felt a pang of guilt pierce my chest.
