“Aren’t you going to go after her?”

“Who?” Val said dumbly.

She stared up at me with big round blue eyes. They were completely free of tears. Silently, I cursed myself for falling for her fake tears.

“You’re like a child sometimes, you know that?”

She made an incredulous sound and pawed at me as I stood and left the table. I didn’t want Val to follow me. I managed to make it to the front of the restaurant and out a side exit.

I watched as Val exited through the front. She grabbed a valet and shouted something in his face. I shook my head. I couldn’t believe the way she’d behaved. Stealing my credit card and buying an engagement ring; springing a daughter on me; bringing up a drunken threesome we’d had in earshot of her daughter.

The woman was insane. I should have listened to Trent and stayed far away.

I watched Val wander through the crowd of people gathered by the valet. She was clearly looking for me. I decided it was best to stay in the alley for a while before I made my escape. A grown man hiding from a crazy gold digger was pathetic, but I just couldn’t deal with her right now.

The meeting at work had gone horribly. I couldn’t deal with any more drama today. I’d wait for Val to leave, then I’d sneak out. I wouldn’t return her texts or calls. I’d ghost her. Eventually, she’d get the message and stop calling me. As for the engagement ring, I’d have to figure out a way to get it back. Worst case scenario, I’d call the police. I didn’t want Val to be arrested, but maybe it would teach her a lesson.

“You hiding out too?”

I turned to find Val’s daughter standing behind me. Her mascara was smudged around her eyes as if she’d been crying. She sniffled and rubbed her face with the back of her hand. The gesture made her look younger than her years.

Seeing her sad made me angry. I can’t imagine having Val as your mother. What was it like growing up in a house like that?

My eyes drifted over the girl. She had high cheekbones and catlike eyes. Her hair was dark; she wore it pulled up in a messy knot on top of her head. Her looks were severe, sharp angles and pouty lips. To put it simply, she was stunning. She looked like she belonged in the lost works of a great artist.

She shuffled her feet and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She was wearing a low-cut, see-through dress. A light mist had started to fall. The thin fabric clung to her curves leaving nothing to the imagination. I could clearly make out the shape of her tits and hard nipples. She shivered.

“You must be cold,” I said.

“I’m fine,” she lied.

I took off my coat and took a step towards her. She stared at me with the same big blue eyes her mother had. It was the only thing they shared.
