Mt fingers tap once against the table, I should have known kn better. People like Claire rarely walk away quietly when they feel humiliated, especially when emotions are involved.
I push away from the table and walk toward the kitchen counter, grabbing a glass of water.
What I didn't anticipate was Claire coming back years later to throw it in my face like this.
That's the part I miscalculated. I thought she was handled and settled. I let out a quiet curse under my breath. My grip tightens slightly around the glass when my mind drifts back to what she admitted.
The man, the one who hurt Elaine years ago and Claire dragging him back into her life like he was just another tool in some stupid revenge game.
