Chapter 14: Friendly Intervention

Zariah

It’s so hard to listen to my trainer the next morning. All I’ve been able to think about since the moment I walked out of Micah’s office is how much I hate him.

But that’s not really what’s on my mind, and I hate myself just as much for the other thoughts that keep popping into my head.

Training is almost over now, and we are stretching. Thank the Moon Goddess. I have a lot of work to do today. The Moon Goddess Ball is tomorrow night. We are running out of time, and I wanted to get everything checked off of my work to-do list before the ball.

So I’ve got to focus on work—not stupid Micah.

No matter how many times I tell myself to let it go, that I’ve made my point, that he heard what I had to say, and it is over now, my mind keeps going back to the words we said to one another, how mean we were, how angry we both became, and how much I wanted to punch him.

That’s not all I wanted to do, though, and for a moment, I don’t think that that’s all he wanted to do either.
