I shiver. My hand brushes over the empty seat beside me. I think I had blinders on when it came to tonight. I had been living in a dreamland, and now, to be so empty as I watch him walk away, panic rushes back in. The limo gives a little jerk as we start to pull away from the gala, and I turn away from the window. My hand clenches, and I set it in my lap and take a deep breath.

I’m worthless in this moment. It’s what I’ve fought against my entire life. The loss of control. Never knowing what’s about to happen to me. Ruby and I always promised each other that once we got out of the foster system, we would control our own destiny. And here I am, Ruby gone and my destiny clutched firmly in the hands of a mob boss. One I’m falling in love with and who might not live to see the next sunrise.

My breath catches in my throat, a sob sneaking out, and I cover my lips, slapping my hand against my face so hard that I’m sure it will leave a mark.

When did I become such a crier? When did I become so invested in something other than finding a way out with Ruby? When did I find this new version of myself? And why am I letting the old version of myself go without a fight?

I’m headed home like a good little girl, doing my duty. Playing the good wife.

I reach up and swipe a finger underneath both eyes, seeing the black clumps of mascara resting on the tip of my finger as each streetlight whooshes by the limo. At this rate, I need to buy some waterproof mascara. I rub my fingers together, getting rid of the wet mess, and then take another deep, shuddering breath.
