Seeing how upset I was, Zachary finally spoke up, “Emma and I grew up together. She went abroad for college and just got back. We’re really close.” So they were childhood friends, which meant their bond went back further than our five years together. He had never mentioned Emma to me before. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was because I wasn’t important enough to him or if she was too important to mention.
“I’m not feeling well. I caught a cold today, so I’m going to head back,” I whispered, tugging on Zachary’s sleeve.
“Okay, take care on your way home,” Zachary said, barely glancing at me as he waved me off at the door. It was obvious that the party was far from over for them.
