One week later

I’m on borrowed time. I know this. Every single day I feel it. In my mind, there is an hourglass with sand inside, slowly dropping the time away.

And maybe that’s what makes me afraid. Time can drive your actions. When you have all the time in the world, your thoughts and actions are slow and well thought out. But my thoughts are desperate. I take each moment I have with Macsen and savor it.

Slowly, I fold the shirt in my hands and place it in my suitcase. Tomorrow I will be flying home. There’s not much happiness inside me—just a lot of dread and sorrow. Thanksgiving break isn’t supposed to be so dark and sad. But for the last three years, it has been nothing but gloom for my family.

Severine watches me from her bed. She says nothing to me, but her glare says more than enough.

“Are you excited for break?” she asks.

Looking over at her, I lift a single brow. “Not really.”

“Why’s that?”

My foot taps on the ground nervously. Severine’s talking to me as if this is a common occurrence for us. She has a gleam in her eyes that shows me she has something planned. I’m ready to get out of here. I’m ready to see Macsen. And I’m ready to get far away from Severine.

“I like it here,” I assure her. She doesn’t look convinced. “Do you like it here because you can trick Macsen?”

Macsen’s name coming from her mouth makes me abruptly turn around and narrow my eyes. “I’m not tricking him.”

“You’ve magically changed?” she challenges.

“Whatever I say, you’re going to find a way to make it sound bad.”

Leaning forward, she points a finger at me. “You’re using him!”

“No, I am not!” I say harshly.

Her head pulls back. This is the first time I’ve raised my voice to anyone other than my siblings. It doesn’t happen to me often. I can handle her dark looks in my direction. Expressions are harmless. It’s when Severine tries to take something that I value in my life that I stand tall and refuse to back down.

Exhaling loudly, I look down at the floor and back up. “I know you’ve told everyone to warn Macsen about me.”

“Can you blame me?”

I don’t answer her question. I pick up my luggage and walk to the door. I’m two steps from the hallway when I’m suddenly halted by her words.

“He’s going to find out!” she says sharply.

Gripping the edge of the door, I turn and look over my shoulder. “If he does, let it be from me, not you, an ex-girlfriend who looks more insecure than worried.”

That hits a nerve with Severine. She rushes forward and stops in the middle of the room. “I’m not insecure, I’m concerned!”

“Go to him then,” I demand firmly. “Call Macsen right now, and tell him everything.”

She says nothing.

“Come on, Severine,” I say softly. “If you were really concerned, you wouldn’t give up until he knew everything. Let me tell him the truth. Let me tell him that everything has changed.
