Chapter 18

“Be honest. You must be happy with yourself right now, huh?” I covered my face with my hands and stared at Aaron through my fingers. Everything seemed to be going according to plan for the cunning man in front of me.

“Well… If you say yes to being my date tonight, I’d be so happy that my head would explode.” Aaron smiled, and he didn’t seem to doubt that I would agree with him. Sure, his bright-eved arrogance was maybe distasteful, but it didn’t irritate me as much this time. I was moved by his proposal. Besides, if I was left alone tonight, all I would be thinking about is what Vincent and Emily might be up to and how much of a failure I was as a girlfriend.

Cinder was gone on a trip and wouldn’t be back in New York until tomorrow, so I had no one else to share my pain with

Alcohol was one way I could try to numb myself, but I didn’t want to do that. It’d be silly to get drunk over the man who ran to his mistress on our third anniversary. He wasn’t worth it.

I was just too exhausted. I didn’t want to be tortured like this on tonight, of all nights-I didn’t want to be alone for even a second.

I could only find solace with Aaron.

I sniffed, but at this point, my nose was too congested for that to make a difference. Aaron laughed even louder, and he moved over to the side table and grabbed a tissue. I thought he was going to hand it to me, but instead, he reached past my outstretched hand and held the sheet against my nose.

“There you go, darling.” He really wanted me to blow my nose. Into his hand. As if that were normal.

What is with him? Doesn’t he think that’s dirty?

Even if Vincent had asked me to help him blow his nose, I’d still take a few minutes to think about it. The thought made me cringe.

I grabbed the tissue and stopped him. “I can do it myself.”

He let go without any resistance, and I turned away from him. I didn’t dare blow my nose loudly. It was too quiet here! The idea of my snot echoing through the empty hall was mortilying, and so I settled for only wiping my nose a bit.
