He went to lean in and kiss me, but my raised brows made him pause. With a shake of his head, he walked out of my life.
Aside from having to see him for another few weeks at college, and the dozen or so calls and texts he sent, I have not spoken to him since.
Or Nora.
She never tried to apologize.
Not once.
We would pass each other in the halls or on the college grounds and she would just look the other way.
I think that hurt more than all of it.
I thought he loved me.
I thought she was my best friend.
Life had felt lonely until I started my new job where I met Molly. She and I became best friends after sharing a similar experience, although she caught her boyfriend kissing another guy.

“Six weeks, no. Six months, yes,” I replied.
“It just never occurred to me to ask. Worrying about both sexes is exhausting. Obviously, I ended it.” Molly sighed.

Okay. Call if you need me. x

I would show Alexandra and Knox I was capable of nailing this job. Not just them, but my parents as well.
Jeez, the pressure was building.
Knox introduces me to his personal assistant and the rest of the team in one sweeping this is Payton, then with a lingering glance which prompts a question from Mindy, leaves us to it.
“Do you know each other?” she asks.
“No. Well, we met yesterday,” I reply, glancing around.
“Let me show you to your desk—it’s a spare desk but all yours until the collection is launched.”
What a breath of fresh air.
I should take notes for Karen.
