'HIS VEXATION'
******
I knew that I was the one who told Zara that I was going to wait for her. I remembered how close I was to kissing her when I had said that she could take some time away from me, even be with that rogue Ethan, if that's what she wanted. If that's what she needed. I wanted to show her that I was in the long haul and that I would do anything for her.
But that doesn't mean that it didn't hurt every time I saw them together. It's like a piercing kind of pain that starts in my chest and then travels down my torso, until it becomes a pool of heat in my stomach. And if I'm not capitalising enough, it hurt like hell.
