NOAH
I should have known that someone would have seen Riley and I together. I just didn't know it would be Ciara.
What was I thinking?
What the hell was I thinking?
I should have walked away the moment she stood beside me. That was what I should have done.
But I didn't. And now Ciara was over there, forming wrong opinions about me.
She didn't even try to listen to my explanation! That woman just jumped to conclusions and assumed the worst of me.
Why did I even care about her? I owed nobody — least of all her — an explanation. Let her think whatever she wanted.
It was none of my damn business.
Then why was I the one walking away from the table? Why did I leave? Leaving only made me look guilty.
Damnit!
Was it too late to go back?
It was, was it not?
