Chapter Eighteen

Millie’s heart thrashed around inside her chest. When she’d seen the dark-haired beauty kissing her boyfriend, her first instinct had been to run. Then she wanted to gouge out her eyes. Then the anger had taken over, and she’d watched Travis struggle to breathe as if he’d just experienced the best kiss of his life.

She knew; she’d seen him do that after kissing her.

And now he’d gone mute.

Millie’s fury combined with frustration, and she just wanted to go home.

“No one,” Travis finally said. “It wasn’t a kiss, Mills.”

“Don’t,” she said. “I saw you.”

“No,” he said quickly. “No, no. You didn’t see me kiss her. She kissed me, and it happened really fast. She was just doing a scavenger hunt thing.”

“A what?” Millie folded her arms and cocked one hip. If he knew how long it took her to pull these jeans on, he wouldn’t be kissing other women.

An alarm inside her started to wail, and Millie breathed in deeply, trying to silence it. He’d already told her that not all men left their families. And the very next day, he was kissing someone else?

Nothing made sense, but Millie couldn’t hear him if she let the panic inside her drown out her hearing.

“I don’t know,” Travis said. “That was Caroline Landy, and she’s insane.”

“Why’d you kiss her then?’

“I didn’t,” he said, clearly flustered. He glanced around the corner where the women had gone. “They took a picture. They’re doing some scavenger hunt thing, and she held up the mistletoe and kissed me in like, two seconds. I couldn’t even move.”

“Uh huh, yeah,” Millie said. “I saw that part.” She turned away from him and started walking. She wanted to go to the bell choir concert, but not with him. Not right now.

“Millie,” he said behind her, catching up to her in only a moment. “Wait.” He touched her arm, but she yanked it away. Her chest felt like someone had poured in an entire hill of angry ants and then bound her with an unyielding rubber band.

“Hey,” he said gently. “You believe me, right?”

“I’m trying real hard to,” she said, the storm inside her raging now. “I just need a minute. Please.” She walked away from him again, and he let her go this time. Millie wasn’t sure she liked that, but she probably wouldn’t like it if he wouldn’t give her any space either.

He said something behind her, but she didn’t hear the words as she’d let the fury and panic and irritation swell into something that was making all of her other senses go on hiatus.

She passed the teen dance and the hot chocolate tasting and went out the front doors. She gasped as she did, because it was cooler out here and she needed the air to think. Why was her brain misfiring now?

It felt like only a few seconds passed before Travis joined her. He didn’t touch her, and Millie was secretly glad he hadn’t just let her abandon him. He was there; he hadn’t walked away.
