Chapter 49

• “Fenice,” The words leave my mouth before I can stop them. I should call her Brandi, not fenice; we aren't together. She cheated and broke my heart. I have thought about this exact moment many times, seeing her again. I wonder how it would happen. How I would feel and what I would say to someone who broke my heart. But now that it’s here, all I want to do is take in my arms and kiss her. I’m pathetic. I frown as I stare at her. My heart drums in my chest as her familiar scent envelopes me, bringing peace to me that has escaped me these last couple of weeks.
• “Excuse me, are you getting in or out?” A man comes up behind her and says.
• “Oh, sorry.” She says and steps aside to allow him to get on while I step off.
