"Eveline…" I said calmly, trying to keep my voice steady despite the situation.
"What?" she replied, likewise, in a calm tone.
"What do you even want from me?" I asked, my frustration bubbling beneath the surface. Yes, I had started this whole mess, but…
Isn't this a little too much?!
Eveline didn't hesitate. "I already said it. There's no way in hell I'll allow you to end this relationship. If it's ending, it's on my terms."
She was seated uncomfortably close beside me, just like Lily on my other side. Their proximity wasn't helping my already wary mind, but Eveline's presence was particularly overwhelming.
Damn.
I'd forgotten about this sensation—the unbearable tension I felt whenever I was near heroines. As Eveline inched closer, it spiked. It was still manageable, but there it was: that faint, irrational desire to strangle her.
Haah.
