Nine

Heather couldn’t remember ever being so angry with anyone.

In her entire life.

Except maybe Chris himself, when he’d walked out on her dad and the business three years ago.

She wasn’t even sure where the anger had come from. It had just been building throughout the evening and culminating her conflicted feelings over the last few weeks. She’d tossed the Snow Caps, thinking they’d land on the floor and make a satisfying thud.

But the box was heavier than she’d expected, and her aim had been surprisingly good. She blinked in surprise when the box hit Chris in the face.

She’d been furious, but she certainly hadn’t intended to hit him in the face.

“What the hell?” he growled again, looking genuinely angry for the first time that evening.

“Sorry,” she gasped, still processing her surprise at the accuracy of her aim. “I didn’t mean to…I mean, not that you don’t deserve it, but—”

He scowled at her. “Why the hell did I deserve that?”

He sounded so sincerely outraged that she suddenly remembered all of her righteous indignation. How dare he make himself sound innocent and her sound guilty, when he was the one who had always been an ass?

“You know damned well why you deserve it,” she snapped. “What were you thinking, sabotaging my date that way?”

“I didn’t sabotage your date. I was just being friendly. What the hell?” He muttered out the last words, and he was actually turning away, as if he were fed up with her.

As if he hadn’t done anything wrong.

Heather didn’t know what had gotten into her. She never lost control, and she almost never reacted with anger. She was normally a peace-maker, trying to make sure everyone else was happy. But this was absolutely the last straw with Chris—acting like she was unreasonable and he was completely blameless. It was like some sort of alien force had taken over her body, and there was no way she could stop her hands from clenching into fists at her sides or her mouth from saying what she knew would only make the argument worse. “You were not being friendly! Do you really think I’m that stupid? You can act innocent all you want, but I know you did it on purpose.”

Chris turned back around with a jerk, his eyes narrowing over obvious resentment. “You’re imagining things,” he said, slightly more controlled than she was.

“I am not imagining anything. You knew I didn’t want me and Dave to hang out with you and Janet, but you maneuvered it anyway. You managed to ruin the whole evening for me, and you did it on purpose.”

“Why would I try to ruin the evening for you?”

“I have no idea, but you did! And now you’re acting like you didn’t do anything. Go ahead and make me sound irrational and melodramatic, just like you did before when I was mad at you for leaving my dad the way you did. But you were wrong then, and you’re wrong now, and I’m not just going to put up with it anymore.
