Chapter 16

I felt the irony.

"Do you think I'm making a scene?" I asked.

He sighed and took my hand.

"Vivienne, I know you're acting this way because you love me. You think I'm favoring her by giving her your things.

"But that's only because she insisted you apologize. I saw that camera was pretty old, so I gave it to her so Fintan would stop bothering you.

"You embarrassed Fintan in front of all those people. I couldn't just do nothing."

Suddenly, I felt a twinge of pity for the man before me.

"Lucas, I don't love you..."

He froze for a moment, then his face hardened.

"Stop being stubborn.

"If you don't love me, why do you always look at me that way?"

I chuckled softly, pulling my hand away and savoring one last caress of his face.

"What a shame. I'll never see this face again..."

As if suddenly realizing something, his expression changed dramatically.

"You..."

However, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Britta calling.

He hesitated for a few seconds, but answered anyway.
