“Then how?”

“He saw me with it.”

I shook my head.

“And you just let him go?”

Sullivan didn’t answer.

“Why?”

“Because I didn’t know what I wanted, okay?”

He ran his hands down his face.

“You let me believe it was him.”

“I know.”

“You let me believe that the man I was wanting was him.”

“I know.”

“You let me date your freaking brother for almost a year!”

My voice shook as emotion took over me.

“I thought….”

I leaned closer.

“You thought what?”

“That you’d look at me and realize you wanted Sebastian anyways.”

What?

“Why would you think that?”

He looked away.

“I seen the way you guys interacted.”

I furrowed my brows.

“We just talked.”

“Yeah, but he’s always been so comfortable at talking to other people. The same was with you.”

I mean yeah, Sebastian initiated conversation with me at first. That was no lie.

“So?” I said. “You could’ve talked to me too.”

“That’s the thing. I don’t. I always stay to myself. Always have.”

I looked down at my hands.
