Can't

Adea

I was too stunned to speak. Ethan has never yelled at me but when he demanded I explained, his voice was loud enough to carry outside. No one was perfect but I was shocked to hear that Ethan thought this way. Was this all brought on because we saw Shane again? The last time the three of us were in the same room together had been the day of the trial.

“Fucking say something, please!”

“I don’t know, Ethan. I… “

Goddess, what do I say? I don’t know if I could say that I love Shane and have him believe me. Passing it off as the truth is something else entirely. From the way Ethan’s looking at me, I don’t think I’ll have to do much to convince him. He would believe whatever I say.
