Gone was the gentle tone he’d used earlier. His voice sharpened instantly. “Do you even know? This whole week, Dahlia kept telling me how good your temper is, how kind you are. She even said that if you two got back together, she’d marry you! She said she wanted to give you a stable future. She even asked us what she should do to make you happier! How can you treat her like this?!”
His eyes were red with anger, as if he were the one who’d been wronged. “Dahlia’s been planning your future together. And what does she get in return? A breakup text and all her things thrown to the door like you’re tossing her out? Spencer, don’t be so selfish!”
As he ranted, I watched Dahlia. Her earlier anger softened, replaced with something almost tender as her gaze fell on Gideon, as if she was touched by his anger on her behalf.
My stomach twisted painfully.
She gently pinched his cheek and whispered, “I’m fine.”
Then she turned back to me, hesitating for a long moment before speaking.
