• "Who was the man that dropped you home last night?" my mother asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had ensued at the dining table.
• "A friend," I responded, forcing myself to take a short sip of coffee from my favourite mug after dinner. The last thing I wanted was to be reminded of how Nicholas ruined my date night with Gavin. It seemed the two of them knew each other, even though Gavin refused to admit it. I refused to accept that he just wanted to warn Nicholas against looking at me, as he claimed. After all, he wasn't the only man in the club who was eye-fucking me.
