Willow
I lay there trying to catch my breath, staring up at the ceiling as my mind struggled to catch up with everything that had just happened.
I should have felt happy.
Maybe even exhilarated.
Instead, I felt confused.
There was a strange ache inside my chest that had nothing to do with what had happened between the three of us.
For so long, I’d been angry with Caleb.
I’d hated the way he treated us. I’d hated the power he held over our lives. I’d hated the fact that he could walk into a room and make me feel small without saying a word.
And yet…
I’d just allowed myself to trust him.
That thought unsettled me more than I wanted to admit.
Then there was Lexie.
My best friend.
After everything we’d been through, I had promised myself I wouldn’t let Caleb come between us again.
