I flinched at Meredith’s harsh words and my mouth opened and closed as I fought for the right words. But nothing came out. I expected him to tell them off, but instead he snarled, and I wasn’t sure if it was at me or Meredith.
I wanted to yell at them and tell them they weren’t welcome here. But a small part of me couldn’t, and knew it was wrong to have Rhett here. Was he right? Am I embarrassed by him?
Guilt pooled in the pit of my stomach, making me want to vomit. I just want them gone!
“Why don’t we go out and look at the pumpkin?” I said with a nervous laugh. I led them out the sliding door and didn’t look back, so I wouldn’t have to see the pain on Rhett’s face.
“Your wolf might look ugly, but he seems fine. See, I was right about the supposed hex. Nothing to worry about.” Meredit
