• Jace and I split up after we finished at the restaurant. When I arrived home, I saw something I never wanted to face again. But it was unavoidable. I knew he was coming to see me. That was certain. In the living room sat my ex-mate, Roderick. One arm rested on the back of the sofa, his leg crossed over the other. In his other hand, he held his phone, scrolling through it with a smug look.
• The sound of my sandals caught his attention. He lifted his head slowly, glanced down, then checked me out again with a sharp look. The change in his expression sent chills down my spine.
