"Jealousy turns people into monsters. And I'm the one who's been jealous all along."

Of course I knew Dominic Ashford. He was the golden boy of our college years, the prince charming every girl dreamed about.
He was also one of Geraldine's admirers.
I'd read every single love letter Dominic wrote to Geraldine. Every one of them was deeply moving.

They'd been inseparable through those letters, burning with passion on the page. That was why I could never understand why, in our final year before graduation, Geraldine rejected him.
It drove Dominic to leave the country entirely.
What I understood even less was why, when someone as extraordinary as Dominic was pursuing her, she still felt the need to compete with me for Thaddeus.
