Chapter 66: Seeing Him Again

The limo pulls up outside of the hotel where the function is to be held. There is a red carpet leading up to the front entrance, and there he is.

My breath catches at the back of my throat.

"Sh*t."

He looks amazing. In an Armani tux. He's laughing at something, and his eyes are creased slightly.

"What's wrong?" Aileen asks.

"Never mind." I try to shake it off. He can't see me through the tinted windows of the limo.

"Isn't that Landon?" Lou is frowning. "Who is that with him?"

"I don't know," I tell her quietly.

I tell myself that I shouldn't care that he brought someone else. That's what he does. He'd told me himself that he wasn't a longevity sort of guy. I've just run my course, and he'd lost interest.

"What don't I know?" she is asking me but answering her right now would cost me too much.

I'm surprised it's taken her this long to ask if I'm honest. She's usually quick off the mark.

Aileen comes to my rescue.
