“I didn’t think so,” she says smugly, incorrectly assuming my silence was admission that I’m not happy with how I act. So why the hell are Val and I even wasting our time on this exhausting relationship if we don’t even really like who the other is? In reality, people are who they are and they’ll never really change. Hoping I’d become someone I’m not.Ĭome to think of it, I keep getting back together with her, thinking she’ll be the one to change. I’ve been seeing her off and on for months now and I haven’t had a single clue that she was hoping I would eventually change. With the way I act? Is she really commenting on the way I act? The same girl I’ve seen curse at waitresses for something as simple as too much ice in her glass is seriously commenting on the way I act? “So you’re telling me you’re happy with the way you act?” She sighs and drops her lipstick back into her purse, smacks her lips together, then turns toward me.
“Why would I change?” I ask, cocking my head out of curiosity. “I’m beginning to wonder if you’ll ever change.” She flips the visor down and pulls her lipstick from her purse, then begins to reapply it. “You’re so immature, Daniel,” she mutters. She knows how much perfume bothers me, especially when chicks smell like they bathe in it, but she never seems to care what I think, because she continues to douse it on by the gallon. I crack the window, but just enough so that she won’t think I’m insulting her. “Lighten up.” I crank the car just as Val climbs inside and slams her door in a huff, then pushes herself back against the seat.Īs soon as she’s inside the car, the overwhelming amount of perfume she has on begins to suffocate me. Will an unbearable secret from the past jeopardize Daniel and Six’s only chance at saving each other? Excerpt
