I held onto the doorframe, as if that was the only thing keeping me from falling on my face. I watched Damian walk out on the street, and my heart squeezed in a very uncomfortable way. Chris stood at my side and everybody else was right behind me, and we all just watched him walk away. He didn’t rush, didn’t disappear like he usually did. No, he took his sweet time this time, as if he knew exactly what was going on inside my head. He probably did, the bastard.

I wanted to stop myself. I thought about it for a solid two seconds, but it wasn’t meant to be. I only felt it when my legs took me forward. Even Kit tried to stop me. The little ones had stayed upstairs in the room, but he’d come with me. Maybe he, too, had known I’d end up like this. Maybe everybody knew me better than I knew myself when it came to Damian Reed.

He smelled me, heard my footsteps, my heart practically slamming against my ribcage, and he stopped on the sidewalk and looked back at me, no surprise in his face. Like I said, he knew. Kit kept squeaking weakly, pulling at the collar of my shirt, but soon he realized I wasn’t about to stop until I was right in front of Damian.

I didn’t even know what to say. There were just too many things. I couldn’t bring myself to even focus when he looked at me like that. Like he’d missed me. Like I was just the most fascinating thing in the universe. Asshole.

“Walk with me,” he said and started walking down the street, as if he couldn’t see the werewolves walking by us and the ones inside the houses around us, looking at us through their windows. I took a quick look behind me to find only Jamie and Malin staring at me, concern clear in their eyes. The twins had already gone inside.

I turned and fell into step with him.

“You stood me up,” I started, even though I already hated myself for it. It just needed to be said, I guess. It was the worst time possible to talk to him about this, and that was probably why it felt like the right time. “Which would have been fine, you know, if that was what you wanted. But I know you didn’t.” He wanted to come to my apartment that night a month ago for our stupid date. I knew he did, I’d seen it in his eyes. I’d felt it in the way he’d kissed me.

“I wanted to be there more than you’ll ever know,” he said, his voice hushed.

“And that’s the problem. Why didn’t you come? Where were you, Damian?”

“I was in Nova Scotia,” he said, as if that was supposed to explain everything to me.

I looked at him. “What were you doing in Nova Scotia?”

“It doesn’t matter,” he said, way too quickly.

“Of course it matters. Tell me why you stood me up.”
