(ALICE)
Holly is forcing me to drink the glass of water she thrust into my hand, but I just want to be left alone.
"Can I get you something else?" she asks anxiously. "Perhaps something to eat."
She sounds so near to tears that I look up at her and give her a weak smile. "I'm fine, Holly. But I'd like to be alone for a while. You can go."
That seems to be the only thing she doesn't want to do, but she gives me a jerky nod. "I'll be right outside. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll come right away."
"Thank you."
Once she's gone and I'm all alone, I let out a gust of air.
So much for keeping my cool.
My legs feel wobbly. Why did he even come here? Was he trying to get me riled up? If so, then he succeeded.
Where does he get off trying to act all hurt that I got married and had a child? How dare Darian act as if I did him some great injustice?
