DELILAH
I don't know why my heart felt so heavy. I knew this. I knew that he liked me cause of the bond. Not because there was anything special about me. Then why did hearing it feel so awful? I knew he had a thousand better options. I knew I had been difficult, I hadn't been interested in him. What sane person would leave all other girls and come after me?

"Leave me alone, Xavier," I said softly,
