Cara's POV

I wait for Alaric to

say something, yet he seems content to simply stare at me. His expression is blank, revealing nothing of

his thoughts,

I unloaded a lot on him just now. Maybe he needs time to adjust? To let things sink in?

Or maybe he hasn't been listening to me at all.

He can come her, steamrolling his way back into my life, and even talk about how much he wants to be back together with me. But is any of that true? If he cannot listen to me? If I cannot trust him? How can I be partners with someone who won't even talk with me about my concerns?

All of this confirms for me that I've made the right decision, Rushing back to Alaric would be a foolish mistake.

I'm older and wiser now, with children that I'm responsible for. I can't be

reckless now, and I won't be sucked back into a questionable situation again.

"Well,” I say, breaking the ice, because he's still staring at me like he's never really seen me before. "I should be going now."

As I'm trying to decide what to do, Alaric seems to come back to life. He rises from his chair and hurries over toward me.

This forces me to make a decision in a hurry. I leave the full mug on the rack, give a quick, silent apology to the person who has to clean it, and then duck outside.

Alaric catches up to me after a few steps.
