Chapter Eighteen

MASON

After taking a shower in record time, I jump into my truck and head straight to Ava’s house. The image of her looking so distraught plays over in my mind, making my stomach twist in regret. I was right to call her out on everything, but I could have dealt with it differently. Very differently.

I didn’t need to hurt her like that.

I never should have listened to that fucker. It was like he could see right through me, pinpointing every doubt and insecurity that had been plaguing me for weeks. He saw the jealousy smoldering beneath the surface and took great pleasure in stoking it into flames. And there was only so much I could take before I completely lost it.

Her confession was bittersweet. I’m glad I finally know, but it’s not the way I wanted to find out. I wanted her to want to tell me.

My hands grip the steering wheel, turning my knuckles white as regret continues to gnaw at me.

Fuck. I shouldn’t have forced her. I should have listened and let her tell me when she was ready, and I’m praying to God I haven’t just blown what we have.

I can’t lose her.

If I have to crawl on my hands and knees to beg for her forgiveness, then so be it.
