Chapter 58

• A heavy silence hung in the air, broken only by the sound of the wind. I could feel the chill in my bones. Tension filled the space between us. I could feel Romeo's eyes on me, even though I was facing James. I knew he was grappling with his own feelings at that moment.
• Perhaps, it was time to get a bit of revenge on Romeo. He'd been messing with my head for far too long. He'd been making me act like a fool, and I was sick of it. It was time to turn the tables.
• Even if I had no intention of accepting Romeo's offer, I knew that saying "no" would only have little effect on him. He would just shrug it off. But, going home with James, and letting Romeo see me do it would bruise his ego. I could imagine his face falling as I climbed into James' car.
