Chapter 17 Emily, are you ready?

I thought I was over Arthur and Vivian, but seeing them together hit me hard. He never kissed me like that.

Then I noticed a guy with a rose and realized it was Valentine's Day. They were probably celebrating too.

Arthur never remembered special dates. I used to think he just didn't care about them. Looking back, I feel so foolish. And their choice of place to get intimate? Gross.
