Chapter 119 Audrey
For the next two weeks, I threw myself into my work. The days blurred together, my mind solely focused on one thing. winning this competition.
But despite my best efforts, Edwin lingered in the back of my mind every step of the way. I didn't see or hear from him again, and I wasn't sure if I was relieved or disappointed.
Being close to him that night he drove me home had made my heart feel more at case than I wanted to admit. He had seemed almost... desperate when he asked me to listen to him. The memory of his voice, low and urgent, kept replaying in my mind. "Audrey, please. Things aren't... they're not what they seem."
"I don't know, Tina." I sighed, rubbing my eyes as I sat across from her outside our favorite cafe. "He says it's complicated, and I want to believe him..."
Tina stirred her latte absently, the spoon clinking against the sides of the cup. "I understand. But even if it's complicated, he shouldn't have slept with you, Audrey. Especially not twice."
I winced at her words, the sting of truth cutting through my lovestruck haze. "I know, I know. It's just... you didn't see him that night. He looked so.. torn
"Torn between you and his betrothed?" Tina raised a skeptical eyebrow at me. "That's not exactly a point in his favor, now, is
I sighed again as I sipped my coffee. Tina was right, of course. He could have at least talked to me, told me the truth when he had the chance. But then again....
My hand drified to the spot where my silver streak of hair normally was, right behind my ear. I had dyed it just last night, not wanting the silver roots to show for fear of being ostracized even more at work. Silver Star...
"Maybe we're both hiding things," I muttered.
Tina scoffed. "You can't seriously compare the color of your hair to the fact that he's engaged."
"I know it's not the same," I said, dropping my hand. "It's just... everything feels so complicated right now."
"That's because you're making it complicated," Tina said, her voice softening. "Look, I know you have feelings for him. And, hell, maybe he has feelings for you as well. But he hurt you. He lied to you. It should be a no-brainer at this point."
I nodded, knowing she was right. He had hurt me. Badly. Worse than I wanted to admit.
"Let's talk about something else," I said suddenly, needing a change of subject. "How are things going with you?"
Tina's face lit up, a smile replacing her concerned frown. "Actually, I have some news. I have my first real date with a girl coining up soon."
“Tina! That's amazing!" I reached across the table to squeeze her hand, feeling genuinely happy for her. "I'm so proud of you. Tell me everything."
She blushed, looking both excited and nervous. "Her name is Emma. We met at the bookstore where I've been working this summer. She's smart, funny, and gorgeous. This is... it's a big step for me. This is the first time I'm really accepting my sexuality enough to go on a date with another woman."
