But later, George Flack drove past the car, and that impulsive feeling gradually diminished. By the time he stopped at the door, all that was left in him was a full load of rationality.
George Flack didn't want to go home earlier because he felt that he hadn't sorted out his thoughts and he didn't know how to face Aria Grant.
Actually, all this was Thomas Yates' fault. George knew his own heart, knew he liked Aria Grant, even loved her. But what about Thomas Yates? What kind of mess was he stirring up?
He was so mad that George Flack felt that what he said could be true and that he really might want to be with Aria Grant. It could be genuine, forcing him to choose between the two.
But that was quite pointless too. Precisely because George knew that such behavior was childish, he realized Thomas still cared about him, otherwise there wouldn't be so much nagging.
No one can easily let go of a childhood friendship that ended so abruptly.
