Bullet barked at them incessantly.

Sally’s face turned pale. “You! How dare you!”

Edward had to hold her hand as they backed away.

He shot me a cold glance. “This is too much, Taylor! How could I have been so wrong about you?!”

I smirked as I could say the same about him!

Edward and Sally left in a hurry. They even forgot to take Edward’s things.

I’d grown accustomed to his verbal tirades.

“Should I buy some fireworks while I’m at it?” I asked.

“What the hell?!”

“You know, to celebrate the occasion,” I explained.
