Something is wrong. Amber smiles at me, but it doesnât reach her eyes. And when I lean in to kiss her on the cheek, she stiffens under my touch. I retreat, my brow furrowing. âWhatâs wrong, princess?â
Yesterday, the pet name made her glow with pleasure. Now, it makes her flinch. She keeps her gaze fixed on her worn-out sneakers. âAmber. Look at me.â
My voice is commanding now, and she obeys instinctively. Her wide, expressive eyes are on mine, making my pulse quicken. âTell me whatâs wrong.â
She lets out a snort. The sound seems so unlike her, a smile tugs at my lips. But the spark of fury in her eyes makes me compose my features.
âAs if you donât know.â Her tone is icy.
What is she talking about? Maybe I was too forward last night, maybe I shouldnât have moved so fast. Itâs just that I canât think straight when sheâs near me. âI apologize if Iâve offended you. Believe me, the only thing I want is to make you happy.â
She laughs, but itâs not a happy sound. âThatâs going to be difficult, considering you wonât be seeing me anymore. What are you doing here?â
Something must have happened. I step closer to her and put my hands on her shoulders. âPlease tell me whatâs wrong, princess.â For a second I think sheâs going to push me away, but then her shoulders sag. She reaches into her handbag and fishes out her phone.
âThis is whatâs wrong.â She shows me her screen. I read the message once, then a second time. At first, Iâm confused. Then I dig my nails into the palm of my hands. âI didnât write this.â My voice is hoarse with anger.
âWhat?â Her forehead crinkles in confusion.
âI couldnât find my phone. Thatâs why I didnât contact you today, and itâs why I came here, hoping to find you.â
âBut if you didnât write itâ¦â She trails off, her mouth forming a perfect O. Despite my anger, it takes all my self-control not to press my mouth against her soft lips. I give my head a shake, trying to clear it. âAlex,â I say. âIt must have been Alex.â
