Everything about Aiden’s car was the same. The smell. The pile of uniforms and workout clothes scattered across the backseat. It made me feel homesick—that longing for another place. Another time. I cleared my throat and busied myself by scrolling through my phone.

“Been a while since I got to drive you anywhere,” he said after he got in. I looked over at him, and we sat there awkwardly until he started the car.

“So you said you had information?” I asked as we drove through the dark Redmond streets. There were no streetlights through the hills, something about people not wanting to disturb nature. The blackness outside the windows made Aiden and I feel even more alone together. I gulped.

“Right,” he said, almost disappointed. I wondered if he thought I had a different reason for getting in his car. “Well, Darrell called me the other day, wanted to talk about you. He said he sent you a pissed off e-mail.”

“He did.” I hadn’t told Kira about that. I thought it might hurt her feelings. She’d been very attracted to Darrell for several months until he had cheated on her last year.

“Well, first I told him I was going to beat his ass.”

I smiled and looked over at him. He was staring ahead, navigating the winding road. It was sort of cute that he threatened physical violence against anyone who crossed me. Not that I condoned it.

“Then I made him tell me everything he knew.”

I straightened my posture. “He knew who told on us?”

“No,” Aiden sighed. “But whoever it was told Blaze during class, passed him a note or something. At least, that’s what Darrell heard. So start by checking his schedule.”

“This is good. Thanks.”

Aiden grinned. “No problem, baby.”

Baby. I blinked a few times and turned away. I didn’t want him to call me that. I couldn’t handle hearing that. My eyes began to water.

“Tessa?”

“Stop.” I needed him to stop talking. I was afraid of what would come next.

“I know I promised to behave, but I have to say some things. I miss you. I can’t stand my life without you.” It all came out in one breathless second, like he’d been waiting a long time to say it. “And then seeing his name on your cast … I just can’t stand it, Tess. I want to fucking kill him.”

I put my hand over my eyes and rested my elbow on the door. I should have realized that whatever information Aiden had came with a price.

“We can work this out,” he whispered. “I know we can.”

I sniffled and looked over at him. “No, Aiden,” I said, feeling exhausted. Worn out. “We can’t. You slept with Mary. You hid it from me. You were supposed to love me.”

“I do! I love you more than anything!”

“Then how could you sleep with her? How could you sneak around with her and then still be with me?” I shook my head, tears starting to fall from my eyes. “How could you do that to me? I was waiting for you!”

“I was stupid! What the fuck else can I say? I made a mistake, Tessa.
